To sum up, Julia Kristeva's notion of women's time highlights women's confinement in house and their deprivation of
social roles and their overlooked desires. In The Color Purple, Alice Walker provides an opportunity for black female
characters to defend themselves in patriarchal system and gain individuality and social role. As a result, Celie is
transformed from a timid non-fighter to a courageous fighter who stands up for her rights. As a result of her revolt
against patriarchal ideology, she achieves linear time and enters the sewing industry. She does not devote all her time to
do household chores, rather she enters the business of sewing and makes financial progress. However, The Color Purple

women‟s situations in this novel envision a better future for black people. Women perceive that through sisterhood they
can realize their dreams, follow them in society and achieve them. Therefore, the secret to attaining linear time is
sisterhood in this novel.
