Abstract: Alice Walker is not only the first black woman writer in American history who won the Pulitzer Prize，but also is one of the most influential writers of contemporary American literature. Her novel The Color Purple is known as a timeless classic, which directly explores the contradictions and conflicts between black men and women, describes the hard course of black women’s growth, points out a feasible road of two sexes’ harmony, and further shows the e ssence of the “w omanism”.

This thesis is divided into five parts. The first part gives a brief overview of Alice Walker and her masterpiece The Color Purple. The second part deals with the theoretical framework, and includes the theory of womanism. The third part gives an analysis of the four female characters in the Color Purple from the perspective of womanism. The forth part mainly deals with three unique features of womanist reflected in The Color Purple. Then naturally the fifth part makes a conclu sion. In all, Alice Walker‘s womannism overcomes the shortcomings of the feminism and provides a new angle of view to liberate black women.

Key Words: Alice Walker; womanism; The Color Purple; Harmony
