For a woman, the task of liberation through writing must include also a thrash against the establishment created by male power, in this case, white-male power. Writings by women must be successful in relaying the unique female experience; one unlike that of their male counterparts. However, the works by women of color are constantly attacked and often dismissed as feministic, sexist, one-sided and the like. Fortunately, this has not discouraged the female "voice" from emerging. Writers such as Alice Walker, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and countless others have created a new space for the discussion of the female experience within postcolonial settings; moreover, their work has and continues to rage a three-way battle against imperialism, canonization, and sexism.96 p.dissertations, academicen-USAmerican literatureAfrican American studiesAfrican American women authors--Political and social viewsFeminism and literature--United StatesFeminism in literatureWomen authors, AmericanWheatley, Phillis, 1753-1784--Criticism and interpretationHurston, Zora Neale--Criticism and interpretationWalker, Alice, 1944- --Criticism and interpretationMorrison, Toni--Criticism and interpretationMaster's Thesis
