In an unvarnished and singular voice, she explores an astonishing array of events: marching in Mississippi with other foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr.; her marriage to a Jewish lawyer, defying laws that barred interracial marriage in the 1960s South; an early miscarriage; writing her first novel; the trials and triumphs of the Women's Movement; erotic encounters and enduring relationships; the ancestral visits that led her to write The Color Purple; winning the Pulitzer Prize; being admired and maligned, sometimes in equal measure, for her work and her activism; and burying her mother. A powerful blend of Walker's personal life with political events, this revealing collection offers rare insight into a literary legend. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 600 10 $a Walker, Alice, $d 1944- $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Diaries. 650 0 $a African American women authors $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Social reformers $z United States $v Diaries. 655 7 $a Diaries. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Boyd, Valerie, $e editor. 700 1 $a Ellis, Aunjanue, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Edwards, Janina, $e narrator. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032920.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220511010059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6367EC8D0EF11ECA2363B5D2FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
