This study compares how Alice Walker’s The Color Purple and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus portray the struggles and growth of Black women. Both novels show characters who begin in silence and gain strength as they confront racial, gender and cultural pressures. The study outlines the role of African and African American women’s writing as a form of resistance and uses feminism and womanism to explain how identity is shaped. It examines how race, patriarchy and religion influence Celie and Kambili, and how supportive relationships help them reclaim their voices. The analysis shows that both authors highlight liberation as a social, emotional and spiritual journey, offering a vision of selfhood grounded in resilience and human connection.
