What is maiden?
Some people mourn and resent the Maiden, while others worship her and treat her like a fetish. The Maiden is a traditional representation of the innocence, independence, and individuality of childhood. She is an unmarried woman who is young, naive, free-spirited, and uncontaminated by the world. She follows her instincts and frequently engages in creative experimentation. She also has a propensity to let life happen to her and frequently finds herself in situations where she is defenceless and in need of assistance.
Alice Walker's <u>great-great-great-great-grandmother</u> was a slave who travelled by foot from Virginia to Eatonton, Georgia—regarded as Walker's ancestral home—carrying two infants on her hips. Walker made the decision to retain and embrace her maiden name, Walker, as a reminder of that walk.
