Abstract

The present paper explores the profound themes of self-discovery and identity formation found in Alice Walker’s Meridian through a feminist lens. Walker skillfully blends the political and personal in this narrative, which follows the protagonist on her path to self-awareness and empowerment against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement. The paper also emphasizes the heroine’s defiance of cultural and patriarchal norms by carefully examining the ways in which race, gender, and class intersect. This inspection of Meridian’s struggle with social expectations deepens our knowledge of feminist literature by highlighting the pivotal role that reflection plays in the fight for justice and equality. Using a feminist qualitative approach, the paper examines Alice Walker’s Meridian through textual analysis and theme investigation.
