Toni Morrison, the acclaimed author who became the first African American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Eager to see the previously untold stories of African American women portrayed in fiction, Morrison published her first novel, The Bluest Eye in 1970. The book remains a canonical novel about the damage of internalized racism and society’s neglect and mistreatment of African American girls and has become a mainstay of high school and college literature classes.
