Collected works of Marita Bonner (1899-1971), edited and introduced by Joyce Flynn and Joyce Occomy Stricklin (Bonner's daughter, who contributes 'A Portrait of My Mother'), gathering 20 short stories, three plays and two essays, some previously unpublished. Many of the stories, written mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, are set on Frye Street, a crowded, ethnically mixed Chicago neighborhood, and show how poverty and racism wear on spirit and family life. Contents include the essay 'On Being Young - a Woman - and Colored' (1925), the plays 'The Pot Maker', 'The Purple Flower' and 'Exit, an Illusion', and stories from 'The Hands' (1925) to 'Light in Dark Places' (1941). Part of Beacon Press's Black Women Writers Series.
