摘 要
这篇论文主要从女性主义方面研究爱丽丝·沃克《紫色》中女主公西莉的解放过程。小说中沃克并不仅仅局限于描写非裔美国妇女的悲惨遭遇，并且旨在为所有在父权制和性别歧视下压迫下的妇女指引一条光辉的道路。小说中的黑人妇女遭受着双重压迫，一方面是来自黑人男性的性别歧视压迫，另一方面则是白人对她进行的种族歧视压迫。她重新确立自己的精神信仰，并在姐妹的帮助下成长为一位在经济、思想以及生活上独立的女性。她寻求自由和解放的方式正印证了艾丽斯·沃克的妇女主义。论文主要包括三章：第一章主要介绍了作为本文理论基础的妇女主义。第二章将主要讲述小说中黑人妇女所受到的双重压迫。第三部分主要介绍耐蒂、索菲亚和莎格对西莉的觉醒中起的至关重要的作用以及黑人女性取得解放的必经途径。
