This paper delves into Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author Alice Walker’s epistolary novel The Color Purple through the perspective of the subaltern. Walker’s story describes the oppression of women of color in an unjust and inhumane Black as well as White community in the early 20th century in a rural area in Georgia. Celie, the main character, embodies women that endured multiple hardships due to disparities in their physical appearance and economic status. To depict the detrimental effects experienced in a marginalized society characterized by racial and gender discrimination, Walker presents undeniable evidence of abuse that her maternal ancestors endured, and succeeds in tackling taboo subjects including incest and child molestation, which represent the harsh realities young women of color faced. Celie strives to break free from the chains of oppression to pursue her own aspirations. Resisting these harsh conditions and seeking solace in the symbolism of the color purple, a blend of blue and red that mirrors the solidarity of sisterhood and motherhood. She embarks on a personal journey of spiritual liberation, overcoming the impact of physical oppression and cultivating internal strength, all of which lead to her ultimate victory.
