So, this research seeks to investigate many themes related to the black women within the white society. It first highlights their historical, social, and economic conditions and evaluates the impact of the Civil Rights Movement on these conditions whether it liberated them or worsened their oppression. It also investigates the double oppression black women face. As a result, this study, reveals three dimensions of relations within the novel: Black vs. Black, Black vs. White, White vs. White. For this reason, this study employs Alice Walker's Womanism because it covers these three relations and most importantly because it puts at the center black women problems and gives importance to how they find ways to their empowerment.enWomanismKathryn stockettThe helpOther
