As the fifth full-length novel of Toni Morrison, the novel Beloved has played a very important role in the history of contemporary American literature.

The paper analyzes the images of black women in the novel from the perspective of feminism and discusses the psychological journey of black women’ self-awareness from ignorance to awakening and finally self-construction.
