Their Eyes Were Watching God
This is a sympathetic portrayal of a young black woman’s struggles in central Florida in the early 1900s; a notable and historic example of black fiction and a powerful evocation of feminine self-knowledge. Their Eyes Were Watching God explores sexism, race and class discrimination, and the disappointment of loveless marriages.
