Feminism is a vile perversion of the mind and the natural order. Thank God she escaped her mothers’ clutches. What a hag!
One of the underlying issues all zealots fail to face is there was something lacking in their own personalities which led to their failures to achieve their personal nirvanas.
Thank-you for this. The most telling part was that her mother blamed her for things she had no control, like that she was be-racial, had a Jewish father and spent half of her custody time in their warm, conservative, upper middle class home.
Alice Walker tried to prove that she was for sisterhood, but she was really only out for her own selfish promotion as a feminist icon. At least she was not a hypocrite for trashing motherhood. She was competitive and neglectful of her daughter and I hope her grandkids do not idolize or romanticize her in her absence ( or rather abandonment).
I also hated her book and thought she did not deserve the acclaim.

Your mother was self serving and wholly ungrateful for anything in her life.
You were unwanted as well.
Lucky, you weren’t caught in a coat hangar...

Great article. Looking forward to the movie version of Adé: A Love Story. :)
I read this when it first came out. I can’t believe how evil Alice Walker really is. Just evil and destructive to her only child. Dreadful.
Why is it that the leaders and visionaries of leftism are so often abherrent and twisted, mistreating those closest to them, even their own children?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau,”father” of leftist philosophy, convinced his common-law wife to surrender each of their 5 children to an orphanage, at a time when orphanages were hell on earth and a likely death sentence, because they would have been an impediment to his obsessional aspirations as a social climber.
Leftists kill and mistreat their own with such scary ease. It’s bizarre...
