In Search of Our Mothers Gardens

Alice Walker wrote about the struggle of black women in her essay, "In Search of Our Mothers Gardens". She talks about all of the injustice and uncivil barbarity. The women she wrote about were, to her, pillars of what it meant to survive the struggles and obstacles they were presented with. Walker was ultimately trying to show the world the creativity of black women, but in turn made them seem crazy or insane. She talks about how these women were able to be creative during their time and women who could have been main characters during their time if it were not for all of the oppressions. She says that oppressions made it difficult and confusing for women to express themselves. I liked reading this essay, but I'm not sure if it was one of my favorites. If we have to write a paper on one of the essays that we read, I might write it on this essay.
