Alice walker and Phillis wheatley Alice Walker the author of 'In Search of Our mothers Garden'-an essay,she discusses about her pioneers(literally she calls as 'Mothers'-Saints)to establish more support to her essay and lay emphasize on the racial segregation.Alice's main intention is to eradicate the complete slavery and racial segregation for which she has taken many examples of her pioneer of her own race among them I have taken Phillis Wheatley to discuss about her associated to Walker's essay. PHILLIS WHEATLEY IN 'IN SEARCH OUR MOTHER'S GARDEN Alice Walker takes the example of Wheatley because she too even underwent many problems and faced by as that of Walker.In addition to this Wheatley has written many works on slavery and racism existed during her time.Therefore Walker considers her as her 'mother'. Initially Walker discusses how the patriarchal society considers her women as 'Sexual Objects' and 'Mule of the World'. Wheatley had an awesome creativity and imagination which flowed into the literary works during her time but gone in vain because after all se was a woman that too a Black woman so therefore her works were not considered but neglected and se had to face these kinds of problems against the partiality. Her fountain of imagination dried in vain and they flowed into the wet dusty plain. Wheatley's was crushed under the burden of suppression and oppression of that so called Male Oriented Society' existed during her time and she died in a pathetic condition. She did not have any freedom to publish her books,her freedom of pen(writing)was snatched. Alice considers Wheatley as an Artist but there was no one to encourage her,that is why Woolf says that one should have one's own room to write freely in her book.Moreover Wheatley recognizes the freedom as Goddess in the poem' The Goddess comes,she moves divinely fair.....'. Alice emphasizes that Wheatley would have been easily considered the intellectual superior of all women and most of the men in the society of her day. Furthermore Alice's main intention is to bring out their problems and make aware of that to the society. She evokes the society and her audience as well. And their artistic creativity has to be sought in the search of their mother's garden and they have to be recognized and given importance to their works and allover they should be considered one among tem to maintain equality.

Alice walker all works were written on theme in gardens on her most of her works.
