•Renowned Feminist, Activist
•After a childhood accident blinded her in one eye, she went on to become valedictorian of her local school, and attend Spelman College and Sarah Lawrence College on scholarships, graduating in 1965.
•Alice Walker's early poems, novels and short stories dealt with themes familiar to readers of her later works: rape, violence, isolation, troubled relationships, multi-generational perspectives, sexism and racism.
• Author of The Color Purple (1982)
•She's credited with introducing the word "womanist" for African American feminism
Women like Alice Walker are inspirational. The work they do so that women of all colors can be free in a society that oppresses them is amazing.
