One word that sums up what feminism is all about. In addition to this, the novel displays how once fellow women empower women, they believe they have power themselves. It also implies that when men degrade women, the women that surround them show them their worth. The Colour Purple implies that when women are oppressed, other oppressed women will stand up for them.
To be made small is to be made to feel “humiliated or inferior”. Alice Walker’s The Colour Purple implies that females empower each other when they are made small by others. She gives up her power because she believes she has none, but the women around her help her to reclaim that power. The main character in The Colour Purple is made to believe by men that she has no power, so she feels as if she has none. Alice Walker once said, “the most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any”.
