        <description><![CDATA[Yes, actually, Alice Walker wrote other things besides short stories, novels, and poetry.  Though most famous for her novel "The Color Purple," Ms. Walker had an impact in nonfiction as well.  Here are some examples of her work in this area:
In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose (1983)
Living by the Word (1988)
Warrior Marks (1993)
The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult (1996)
Anything We Love Can Be Saved: A Writer's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The previous answer was very strong.  I might want to add that the notion of men not liking the work might be better framed as being disdainful of the novel, as much as being challenged with a new frame of reference.  What makes the work so much of a force to the traditionalist notions of narratives is that it asserts and advocates for the voices of women.  The female narrative structure helps to provide voice where there was silence and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I do not know the basis of your statement about men not liking The Color Purple, but I would not be particularly surprised to find out some men did and do not. The way men are portrayed in the book is not particularly flattering.  We have a father who is sexually and otherwise abusive and a woman who turns away from men to love women.  Men are generally not as "good" as women in the novel.  Was Alice Walker saying that all men are...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Maggie more than Dee would  value and permanently treasure the quilts because of the following reasons:
1. The quilts have always proved to be a source of comfort and encouragement to her who is described by the mother as "homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, [who is always] eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe." and a little later as, "she has been like this, chin on chest, eyes on ground, feet in shuffle,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Alice Walker is still very much alive. The self-proclaimed feminist is best known for penning the novel "The Color Purple" which she won a Pulitzer Prize for in 1983. Since that time, Walker has gone on to publish several novels, poetry collections, and short stories. Her most recent works include "Devil's my Enemy" and "We are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For". 
In 2006, Walker was inducted into the California Hall of Fame by Governor Arnold...]]></description>
