- Abstract
The doubly marginalized African American women are always portrayed as stereotypes in the plays of mainstream playwrights. The real identity of the African American women has been brought to the limelight by the emergence of women playwrights. The present paper makes an attempt to analyse how Alice Childress projects the identity of black women which was unknown to the American society and the world in general. The resilient protagonist springs out as a real African queen and she edifies the myopic African American characters in the play.
