ABSTRACT
 This paper first explores the differences between Feminism and Womanism, and points out the uniqueness of Womanism to the liberation of black women. It then compares Celie with Sofia, analysing their similarities and differences, to present the qualities reflected by Celie and Sofia jointly and respectively as well as their limitations. It finally discusses the strong points showed by other women figures in the novel and makes a supplementary, concluding a complete womanist image at the end of it. A concrete image of womanism provides an easier way to understand the themes the author wants to convey in the novels and gives a broader but more pointed perspective to study the black literature.
Keywords：The Color Purple; Celie; Sofia; Womansim
