In Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place, the author offers reflections of her political concerns regarding questions of race and gender in America. The novel is the story of seven African American women who live in a decaying apartment building in the suburbs of a northern city in America. The white supremacy mechanisms in American society force these women face ongoing social discrimination. Naylor reveals the crisis of her character's collective pain as they struggle with life in the ghetto. Living in a world of frustration and confusion are major themes resulting from the harsh reality of race, class, and gender problems the women face. In time, they come to realize that forming a sisterhood consisting of all African American women could offer support and allow them to resolve the issues of the deferred dreams of black America. Mattie’s healing process illustrates how black women can survive in an oppressive world. Mattie is not destroyed by harmful the society in which she lives. She develops a plan to create meaningful change for herself and others victimized by the difficult social structure. (Gyeonggi College of Science and Technology)
