After attending Spelman College and Sarah Lawrence College, Walker moved to Mississippi and became involved with the civil rights movement.

Her third and most popular novel, The Color Purple (1982, Pulitzer Prize; film, 1985), depicts a black woman's struggle for racial and sexual equality. Her later novels include The Temple of My Familiar (1989) and Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992).
