As editor of The Black Women's Health Book: Speaking for Ourselves, White was the driving force that sought out, edited, and published its stories. As one review described it, the book covers, “the vast spectrum of the black women's health experience as patient, healer and wit- ness.” White was also the author of the bio- graphy Alice Walker: A Life – a project that took 12 years of research and writing.

Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways,
and they're still beautiful" - Alice Walker

The Color Purple: Defining Text of Womanism Describing The Color Purple as a womanist work is like saying the Iliad is a heroic poem. It isn’t just an example – it’s the defining work.

Today, we celebrate Alice Walker’s 82nd birthday with her foundational Womanist novel, The Color Purple.

We have our own take on the novel: tinyurl.com/2z8d49tm

But what do you think? Let us know!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

“The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.“

#AliceWalker, poet and novelist (b. 9 Feb 1944)

Every day this month UCBHSSP is honoring Black History by quoting a critical thinker, and providing a critical inquiry to use in your classroom.
