The Color Purple is a novel written by Alice Walker. The story follows Celie, an African American woman, through her letters to God. Celie suffers a lot at the hands of the man she believes to be her father, who rapes and hits her. She continues to suffer when she is forced to marry a similar man. Her husband does, however, introduce her to Shug Avery, an empowered and independent woman, who is a role model for Celie and eventually becomes her lover. The novel is brutally honest, raw, and emotional. Furthermore, it deals with many important themes such as sexism, racism, religion, and abuse.

One of the most important themes in the book is sexism. Because she is a woman, her husband, Mr. Albert, regards Celie as someone who should take care of his children and household as well as someone he has to control and beat in order to make her do what he wants. This is how most men in the book think of their wives and women in general.
