She intimately explores her thoughts and feelings as a woman, a writer, an African-American, a wife, a daughter, a mother, a lover, a sister, a friend, a citizen of the world. 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"--provided by publisher. 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. 650 4 $a Large type books. 700 1 $a Boyd, Valerie, $e editor. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20221105010720.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20221005014317.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220902011616.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220708012151.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0202C00FE8511ECB11692B73AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
