- Authors
Vijayalakshmi, S.
- Abstract
Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the major American Poets of the twentieth century. Her poems register her reactions to racism and are charged with the feelings of the suffering black community and reveal her quest for the emancipation of the black. She was the first black woman to receive Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1950s. Brooks celebrates womanhood and she never wanted her feminist approach to induce any hatred towards the natural duties of a woman.
