"Hurston's accomplishments as a writer speak strongly to the current feminist and gender studies scene...Her big, bodacious voice insists--at every turn--on an interrogation of gender in addition to race. Hurston was one of the earliest women writers to create a powerful realism in her novels, illustrating a woman's feelings and spaces with striking metaphors, drama and ethnographic detail...The feminist themes in her fiction mirror the irony in Hurston's own life; she was a black woman writer in a new literary movement dominated by men and patriarchal values."Hurston, Zora Neale is the author of 'Novels and Stories Jonah's Gourd Vine; Their Eyes Were Watching God;Moses, Man of the Mountain; Seraph on the Suwanee;Selected Stories', published 1995 under ISBN 9780940450837 and ISBN 0940450836.
