Due to their experiences of oppression as a result of intersecting identities, women of Color are the most disenfranchised by Eurocentric patriarchal accounts and typically most in need of healing. As I explore in my research, works by women writers of Color-such as Louise Erdrich's Four Souls, Sandra Cisneros's Have You Seen Marie?, jia qing wilson-yang's Small Beauty, and Toni Morrison's Home and Paradise-gathered in this dissertation intentionally question and revise white settler versions of history that devalue people of Color; however, they also revise familiar stories and cultural traditions in their own communities. Doing so both empowers and enables women of Color in these stories to confront individual, historical, and communal trauma, initiating a typically communal, woman-centered process of healing.Addressing narratives of trauma and healing by North American women writers of Color published since 1997, my research identifies a "feminist healing narrative," detailing the ways in which women writers of Color use language to narrate trauma and dismantle the misogynist and racist hierarchical systems that inhibit healing. Women writers from different ethnic backgrounds revise and challenge dominant narrative plots within their cultural and literary traditions as well as within white American literature more generally. I define feminist healing narratives as woman-centered stories that: focus on experiences of trauma and women's communal healing practices; actively work against patriarchal accounts that erase women, and especially women of Color; and reflect the ways women of Color experience the world, view their cultural traditions, and understand other characteristics of their identity, such as ability, class, and education level. In addition to sharing their characters' unique experiences of trauma and healing, feminist healing narratives establish women of Color as active agents in their own storytelling and healing, creating spaces for women's voices to be shared and valued. Sharing their stories enables the protagonists in these novels to reclaim their bodies from patriarchal control.
