Introduction:
There are many different types of authors in the world of literature; authors of horror, romance, suspense, and the type that Alice Walker writes about, through personal experiences. Although most critics categorize her writings as feminist, Walker describes herself as a “womanist,” she defines this as “a women who loves other women… Appreciates and prefers women culture, woman’s emotional flexibility… and woman’s strength… Loves the spirit… Loving [self] regardless.” Walker’s thoughts and feelings and activism shows through in her writings of poetry, novels, and her everyday movement to make this world a better life for someone else. Alice Walker writes through her feelings and the morals that she has grown with, she writes about the black woman’s struggle including spiritual wholeness, sexual, political, and racial equality.
Conclusion:
Her feelings, morals and the opinions Alice has towards women, sexuality, and racial equality shine through her works of all literature. To Walker, it seems, art and life, words and love, justice-making and play, shape her vocation as literary mirror-holder and lamp-lighter, as vocal woman of color. Alice Walker is an African American essayist, novelist and poet. She tries to incorporate the concepts of her heritage that are absent into her essays; such things as how women should be independent and find their special talent which she use art to make life better. Through reading and learning about Alice Walker made me find my “art.” I only pray that my art can touch as many people have her art as.
