This book is about the truly remarkable black American woman writer Jessie Redmon Fauset, who was born on April 27, 1882, and died on April 30, 1961. She wrote her four novels, which will be the primary focus of this book, during the intriguing Harlem Renaissance periodthe 1920s and 1930sin our nations history (Rowen & Brunner 20002015). Jessie Redmon Fauset was a phenomenal black woman writer who lived her life as a/an author, editor, friend, mentor, party planner, poet, social activist, teacher, and honorary member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. (Wikipedia [Magioladitis ed.] 2017). The list could go on and on, but I have decided to focus on these areas in this book. Jessie Redmon Fauset was a true mentor and supporter for struggling black writers during the Harlem Renaissance. This is what and who, as a woman and a writer, Jessie Redmon Fauset is to me.
