This article attempts to trace the construction of female consciousness through an analysis of the growing experience of the heroine Celie. From her growing process, we can see that women want to get equality with men’s position; the most important thing is to realize the value of their existence, maintain independent personality, keep the integrity of the spirit world, and seek independent ability for survival. 主 要 内 容 、 思 路 及 方 法 Alice Walker is a remarkably prolific black woman writer in contemporary American literature. Her masterpiece, The Color Purple tells the process of how a southern black girl Celie’s female consciousness has been gradually awakened and how she pursues independence and obtains liberation. Based on historical evidences and feminism, this essay analyses Celie’s female consciousness awakening in The Color Purple. In this novel, the heroine Celie writes letters to God in which she tells about her life including her roles as a daughter, a wife, a sister and a mother. And she meets some black women who help her find her value and get independence. They are Shug Avery, Nettie and Sophia. In the course of Celie’s female consciousness awakening, there is always a strong belief of optimism in her. With her optimism and her efforts, Celie successfully finishes her female consciousness awakening. 指 导 教 师 意 见 指导教师签名： 年 月 日 系 意 见
