当代美国著名黑人女作家艾丽丝·沃克是坚定的妇女主义者。早在1973年其著名的短篇小说《日用家当》中,沃克就通过母亲这一角色的塑造,将“妇女主义”思想展露倪端。沃克笔下的母亲一方面在文化的传承和创造方面发挥作用,另一方面又是独立自主的黑人妇女的代表。笔者尝试从沃克的妇女主义思想出发分析母亲这一形象特征,并以此为契机深入挖掘和研究小说的主题。

Alice Walker, a famous contemporary American black woman writer, is a determined womanist. As early as 1973, in his famous short story, “Daily Households,” Walker showed his “womanism ” thought through the shaping of the mother. On the one hand, Walker’s mother plays a role in the inheritance and creation of culture; on the other hand, she represents the independent black women. The author tries to analyze the image of Mother from the perspective of Walker’s feminism and use it as an opportunity to excavate and study the theme of the novel.
