The Woman Characters in the Select Fiction of Alice Walker

Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper proposes to highlight the women characters in the selected fictions of Alice Walker and examine them closely so as to analyze their uniqueness, similarities and qualities in representing the African American women in contrast to the other women in the world. Walker like all the other African American writers has designed her women in replica of the real women characters she had come across in her life. They may be her own mother, her grandmother or great grandmother or neighbors or in any way known to her through her friends and relatives. The sole aim of this paper is to bring out the personal touches in her characters.
