    Discovering The Color Purple: a Study of Black Women's Surivial [sic] in the Fiction of Alice Walker
    (University of Alabama Libraries, 1983) Johnson, Rhonda; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa
    Out of the women's movement has come a body of women's literature that is different in several ways from that produced prior to it. First, there is simply more of it being written, published, and read. Second, it is becoming more honest. One of the most striking features of women's literature in the last twenty years is its directness and honesty in its attempts to dispel those male-perpetuated images of women. The process has been painful and gradual and, of course, did not start with the women's movement. But feminism has been behind the growing strength and truth in women's literary voices.
