Summary

Though orphaned and impoverished, Zora Neale Hurston was determined to get an education at a time when few African-American women received college degrees. After Hurston worked her way through Barnard College, she became known as both a brilliant writer and an unforgettable personality through her association with other artists of the Harlem Renaissance. Trained as an anthropologist, she collected folklore in the American South and the Caribbean. Drawing on these songs and stories—and those recalled from her childhood in Eatonville, Florida—she authored her masterpiece, the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. Though she died poor and forgotten in 1960, Zora Neale Hurston has since been recognized as a giant of 20th-century American literature, whose work continues to enthrall millions of readers.
