In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose

Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Color Purple, Alice Walker’s collection of essays ranging in topics from personal to political. “Thoughtful, intelligent, resonant musings.” — Kirkus Reviews

In this, her first collection of nonfiction, Alice Walker speaks out as a black woman, writer, mother, and feminist. Among the thirty-six pieces are essays about other writers, accounts of the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the anti-nuclear movement of the 1980s, and a vivid memoir of a scarring childhood injury and her daughter’s healing words.
