Keywords:
Black WomanAbstract
The woman represents the symbol of nature. She contributes to make progress in the family, society as well as country through her active participation same as the male counterpart. But woman is suppressed into lower status compared to the male power and position in the society intentionally, even after her great contribution in reality. The evidence can be found in the portrayal of woman in the literatures from the different cultures. African-American literature has played a significant role in American literary history since the eighteenth century. Black writing owes its very nature to the oppressive conditions under which the Blacks have been subjected to in America.
