- Description:
- This thesis is an analysis of select published works of novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston from a women's liberation perspective. She was a prominent female scholar and was connected to the Harlem Renaissance. A review of her essays, short stories, novels, character portrayals, and academic works indicates a reflection of African American women's efforts to liberate themselves from a male-dominant culture. Hurston included subjects of discontent for men and women while also celebrating pride for the Black American culture. She offered a voice to the voiceless, leaving an inheritance that paved the way for ladies in the improvement of women's rights. This study analyzes and discusses how she highlighted women's suffering in her works and gave them a voice.
