【摘要】艾丽丝·沃克是美国历史上第一位获得普利策文学奖的黑人女作家,也是当代美国文坛最有影响的作家之一。

她的小说《紫色》直接探讨了黑人男女之间的矛盾和冲突，以及黑人妇女的艰难成长之路，提出了两性之间和谐相处的可行之道，并从多个角度展现了“妇女主义”的要旨，是沃克的妇女主义思想的完美体现，被誉为永恒的经典。

本文共分五个部分。

第一部分简要介绍艾丽丝·沃克以及她的代表作《紫色》。

第二部分是理论基础。

第三部分从妇女主义的角度分析《紫色》中的四个女性。

第四部分探讨了《紫颜色》中的三个典型文化特征。

第五部分为总结。

综上，爱丽丝•沃克提出的妇女主义不仅克服了传统女权主义的缺点，而且也为解放广大黑人妇女提供了一个新的视角，使她们能更勇敢的面对自己的人生，也更有勇气实现男女之间的和谐。
