Purple rage "[Alice] Walker's success as a campaigner was to her detriment as a mother. Like Dickens's Mrs. Jellyby, who neglects her home and her children as she directs her energy towards the poor of Africa, so America's icon often went to feminist meetings and rallies and left Rebecca to fend for herself. Her daughter experimented with drugs and became pregnant at 14. ... " 'My mother's a crusader for daughters around the world, but couldn't see that her own daughter was having a difficult time. It was me having to psycho-emotionally tiptoe around her, rather than her taking care of me.' "Walker is furious with Rebecca for making such sentiments public, and mother and daughter are estranged with little hope of reconciliation. ... Their last meaningful exchange, during Rebecca's pregnancy, ended in Walker sending a terse e-mail in which she resigned from 'the job' of being her mother, and told her that in any case their relationship had been 'inconsequential' for years." — Margarette Driscoll, writing in "The day feminist icon Alice Walker resigned as my mother," May 4 in the Sunday Times
