  ABSTRACT: Black women lived in the bottom of the society; they suffered from oppression of both sexuality and racial discrimination. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, the writer Zora Neale Hurston creates a positive image Janie who seeks for female rights and fulfills herself through her own efforts. In the course of Janie’s pilgrimage toward female rights, she goes through three stages, that is, Janie’s loss, Janie’s awakening, and Janie’s fulfillment. Janie’s struggle expresses black feminist consciousness-awareness, which becomes an independent female individual bursting her voices in the male-dominant world.
