Abstract
This paper examines the position of African American women in Alice Walkers The Color Purple and Toni Morrisons The Bluest Eye. By focusing on the characters such as Morrisons Celie Harris Johnson and Walkers Pecola Breedlove, it pays special attention to the suffering and abuse black women had to endure. The authors knowledge about the pain inflicted on black women is connected to their own personal history in the black community. Morrison and Walker also use their knowledge, inspiration, and amazing writing skill to show women who resist the traditional gender roles and refuse to accept the strictures of oppression. Such characters are Shug Avery and Sofia Butler from The Color Purple and Claudia and Frieda MacTeer from The Bluest Eye.
