| Abstract: | Alice Walker’s The Color Purple is a groundbreaking novel that intricately weaves together issues of race, gender, and ecological awareness through an ecofeminist perspective. This article explores how the protagonist, Celie, gradually discovers strength and healing by aligning herself with nature and embracing creative practices such as sewing and letter-writing. These activities are not merely hobbies but represent acts of self-expression, spiritual renewal, and resistance to the oppressive forces of patriarchy and racism. Drawing from ecofeminist theorists such as Vandana Shiva and Greta Gaard, the analysis explores how Celie’s bond with the earth and her artistic endeavours serve as sources of empowerment. Nature, in Walker’s narrative, is portrayed as a nurturing and restorative presence, much like the female relationships that help Celie reclaim her voice. The novel links ecological harmony with feminist consciousness, showing that just as the environment is exploited under patriarchal capitalism, so too are women—especially Black women. Celie’s journey from voicelessness to self-ownership exemplifies ecofeminist ideals: her liberation unfolds alongside her growing awareness of the sacredness of the natural world and the power of creation, both in a literal sense and in an artistic one. By situating The Color Purple within the discourse of environmental justice and feminist resistance, the article argues that literature can inspire holistic healing, not only for individuals but for communities and ecosystems alike. |
