(Ohio, 1931 - New York, 2019) Chloe Ardelia Wofford, known under the pseudonym Toni Morrison, is an African American storyteller. She alternated her job as a Humanities professor at Princeton University with literary activity. In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, especially the situation of women. She was the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. She died in August 2019 in the small New York village of Grand View-on-Hudson at the age of eighty-eight.

In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, as well as other themes such as identity, memory, racism, or cultural resistance. Among her most notable novels are Beloved, with which she won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon.

Her literary style combines deep psychological introspection with unique lyricism, marking a before and after in American literature. Through her work, Morrison left a timeless legacy, giving voice to silenced stories and challenging dominant power structures.
