5) Toni Morrison's life

Last two weeks we read a book called The Bluest Eye which was written by Toni Morisson. If I should be honest, in the first place, I didn't like this book very much maybe because of the language. Or it is my fault that I did not understand the context widely . However, now I am reading the Spring part, I get really enjoy this book. Due to the attraction of book, I started to search some details about the writer. And I want to share some information about her.
Toni Morrison was born in Lorian, Ohio. And The Bluest Eye takes place at the same region. Her real name is Chloe Anthony Woffard. She is a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner writer who was born in 1931. She grew up in a black community in Lorian. In 1949, she went to Howard University which is a black collage in Washington D.C.. At this collage, she changed her name to Toni because of the difficulty of her name's pronunciation. She continued her education in Cornell University which is located in New York. Then she start to work in universities.
In 1958, she married Harold Morrison. They have 2 children but they divorced in 1964. She firstly, wrote a short story about a black girl who prayed for blue eyes. Then it changed to a book called The Bluest Eye. The book which is her first book published in 1970. The Buest Eye was chosen for Oprah's Book Club.
Her second book is Sula and the third one is Song of Solomon which was selected of Book of The Month Club. And this is important because Morrison is the second black person who is chosen for this club. Moreover, it won the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 1987, she published Beloved which lead her to won Pulitzer Price and American Book Award. In 1993, she won the Nobel Prize. By the way, she wrote many other books and won lots of other prizes.
In her books, there are mostly black women and because of this, she seems like a feminist writer but she commented something about her point of view.
She said that: "it is off-putting to some readers, who may feel that I am involved in writing some kind of feminist tract. I do not subscribe to patriarchy, and I do not think it should be substituted with matriarchy. I think it is a question of equitable access, and opening doors to all sorts of things."
I just want to give some information about her career and life. My writing is not cover everything.:/
