5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book to display the emergence of an abused woman, November 22, 1997

"The Color Purple" is a good book showing how an abused woman finds her place in life without a man. From a womanist perspective the reader can come into Celie's world and feel her pain, and at times, her glory.

FANTASTIC, August 17, 1999

This review is from: Alice Walker (People to Know) (Library Binding)
At last a real book about real life regarding realization for all women out there, that you do not need a man in your life. I repeat: YOU DO NOT NEED A MAN. Current: song "No Scrubs" ("No, I don't want your number No, I don't want to give you mine And no, I don't want to meet you nowhere And no, I don't want none of your time" It's about time women got wise to fast-talking, going-little-if-any-where's types that show up in sports garb or flaunting-my-only-pinstripe-BillyDee-come-on-with-plenty-of-flash types that give themselves away really, in no time, huh? Yeah. Salt 'N Pepa said it best in their song: "Some A Time Man." (and this is written by a Caucasian male in his 40's) Ha ha out there to all you flunkies.
