41. Southern Literature : Women Writers
    Essay discussing the work of Kate Chopin, Eudora Welty, Katherine Porter, Fannie Flagg, and alice walker.  
    http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/southwomen.htm
    
    Extractions: Southern literature can be defined as literature about the South, written by authors who were raised in the South. Characteristics of southern literature are: the importance of family, sense of community, importance of religion, importance of time and place, exploration of the past, sense of human limitation (moral dilemma), and use of southern voice and dialect. Most of the novels are written as a Southerner actually speaks. Many books also describe the historical importance of the southern town. The area known as the South has been described in various ways. One division is that there are three sub-souths: the coastal/plantation south, which includes the aristocracy; the piedmont red-clay south, which includes farmers and blue-collar workers; and the southern mountains with industry and mining combined with tourism.(1) Another geographical description defines the South as stretching from the Gulf Coast states through Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Carolinas to Virginia and Maryland.(2) The descriptions of the towns (local color) are extremely important to this genre. It is often called regional writing. In the essay, "A Brief Introduction to Southern Literature," Margaret Walker wrote, "It is impossible to read our most distinguished (southern) writers without being conscious at once of the land as well as its people.

    Extractions: Alice Walker, Author and Activist More on This Story: Select One Thousands of Feet Below You You Too Can Look, Smell, Dress... The Snail Is My Power Animal Interview Transcript Biography and Bibliography One of the leading voices among black American women writers, Alice Walker has published books of influential poetry, novels, short stories, essays, and criticism. Born on February 9, 1944, Alice Walker was the eighth and youngest child born to poor sharecroppers in Eatonton, Georgia. One of the formative events of her youth was an accident she suffered at age 8; while playing with her brothers, Alice's right eye was blinded and scarred by a BB gun pellet. This injury was partially corrected when she was 14, but she would never regain sight in that eye. In 1961, she graduated high school as both valedictorian and prom queen and went on to Spelman College in Atlanta on scholarship. She excelled both academically and politically while studying there. Her political activism won her an invitation to the Youth World Peace Festival in Helsinki, Finland and in recognition of this achievement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. extended an invitation to his own home at the end of her freshman year. Later, she would travel to Washington, DC to participate in the March on Washington in August 1963, where she saw (though from a distance) Dr. King's "I have a dream" address. After two years of study, Walker was offered a scholarship to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and although reluctant to leave the heart of the civil rights movement, she became one of the few black students in attendance at Sarah Lawrence.

    Extractions: compiled by Jill Peradotti, Millikin University Alice Walker has become one of the best-known and most highly respected writers in the U.S. She was extremely active in the 1960's Civil Rights Movement in the South. Walker has focused on a array which includes sexual and racial realities within black communities as well as unavoidable connections between family and society. Alice's negative portrayals of men have been criticized on political and aesthetic grounds, but many have responded by arguing that the drama of women achieving selfhood is an important end in itself. Her fiction weaves back and forth through time and individual perspectives. - Alice Walker was born on February 9 in Eatonon, Georgia, to tenant farmers Minnie Lou Grant and Willie Lou Walker. She is the last of eight children. As a child, she witnessed severe economic oppression and violent racism. She is deeply proud of her cultural inheritances which include African American as well as Cherokee Indian.

    Extractions: Walker, Alice (b. 1944) In her explorations of the damage done to the individual by racism and sexism, Alice Walker depicts lesbianism as natural and freeing, an aid to self-knowledge and self-love. Alice Malsenior Walker was born February 9, 1944, in Eatonton, Georgia, to an African-American sharecropper family. She attended Spelman College from 1961 to 1963, and graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1965. In 1964, she traveled to Africa and began to write poetry, some of it published in the 1968 collection, Once Sponsor Message. After college, she worked for New York City's welfare department and for the civil rights movement in Mississippi. In 1967, she married Melvyn R. Levanthal, a civil rights lawyer, and they had a daughter, Rebecca, in 1969. In 1976, they were amicably divorced. In the 1970s, Walker's writing career began to blossom. By 1974, she was a contributing editor at

    Extractions: Special to CNN Interactive (CNN) A writer writes for herself or for others. These are not mutually exclusive, but when she writes only for herself, the material comes across as esoteric and ambiguous. Alice Walker's "The Way Forward is with a Broken Heart" has this quality of being impenetrable. Walker presents us with a indecipherable series of sketches, introducing new characters, returning to seemingly old characters with new names, and plunging the reader into a new set of circumstances that are never resolved.

    Extractions: Bio courtesy the Alice Walker-Womanist Writer website Alice Malsenior Walker was born on February 9, 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth and youngest child of Minnie Tallulah Grant Walker and Willie Lee Walker. Her parents were poor sharecroppers but wealthy of spirit and love. Her father's great-great-great grandmother Mary Poole was a slave forced to walk from Virginia to Georgia with a baby in each arm. Her mother's grandmother Talluhah was mostly Cherokee Indian . Alice is deeply proud of her cultural inheritances. In the summer of 1952 while playing "cowboys and indian" with her brothers (Alice was the Indian with bow and arrow in hand), she was blinded in her right eye by a BB gun pellet. Alice was self-conscious of the large white scar tissue left in her eye. When she was 14 years old her brother Bill had the "cataract" removed for Alice by a doctor in Boston, but her vision never returned. After graduating high school in 1961 (she was her school's valedictorian and prom queen that year), Alice left home to attend
