The Color Purple is a story about female African-Americans in southern America in the 1930's. The main characters include the heroine, Celie, her sister, Nettie, and her friend, Shug. Some of the themes addressed in the plot include oppression, sexuality, love, and spirituality.

In 1985, the book was adapted to a film that was directed by Steven Spielberg. The film starred Whoopi Goldberg as Celie, along with Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey in supporting roles. The film was received well by fans who went to the movies with their The Color Purple tickets helping the film gross more than $98 million in ticket sales.
