Since then, Alice Walker has written two bestselling novels, The Temple of My Familiar and Possessing the Secret of Joy. In addition, she has published two collections of essays, two collections of short stories, and five volumes of poetry. In 1993, a film about female genital mutilation, which Walker coproduced, was distributed by Women Make Movies, and its companion book, Warrior Marks, was released.
