Born October 18, 1948
Born Paulette Williams, writer Ntozake Shange lived in St. Louis from 8 to 13 years of age on Windemere Place in the Ville. Her experiences in St. Louis infuse her work, especially the novels "Betsy Brown" (1985) and "Liliane: Resurrection of the Daughter" (1994). She won an Obie Award for her electrifying stage play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf." Now a standard of the American stage, the 1976-77 Broadway hit was adapted into a major motion picture in 2010. A prodigious author of poetry collections, novels and essays as well as plays, Ntozake Shange's work combines technical innovation and lyric exuberance with a passionate feminist voice writing from an African-American perspective.| HM Number | HM2CFF |
