An Analysis of Ecowomanism in The Color Purple

The Color Purple is a well known work of Alice Walker, which describes black women living in the bottom of that society and a course of them keep fighting for realizing spiritual liberation and personality independence, as well as equality in politics and race. Many scholars at home and abroad prefer to study this novel from feminism, womanism, and writing technique, but few study it from ecowamnism perspcctive. This thesis intends to take The Color Purple of Alice Walker as a research object, ecowomanism as a theoretical basis for reflecting ecowomanism in it and actual meanings. Only when women bravely realized their selfvalue, beauty and preciousness and knew the self-importance and being an independent person from spiritual and body, can they achieve happiness. Only we respect, close, head for nature, can harmonious coexistence with nature be realized.
