More Information

  • Toni Morrison's fiction here is approached from the perspective of Feminism, with the focus on the relationship between the black women and white women in her fiction, leading to the exploration of the open feminist views of Morrison. From the representation of the alienation between black women and white women in The Bluest Eye and Tar Baby, to the mutual help between them in Beloved, and at last to the sisterhood between them in Paradise, Morrison changes from having doubts about Feminism to cherishing hope for it, revealing to us her open feminist views, which fall into accord with her anticipation of the development of Feminism.
