The novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, written by Zora Neale Hurston and orginally published in 1937, is an inspiration to both women and African-Americans. Hurston's rich language and vivid details make for a fascinating and heartbreaking story about a woman, Janie Crawford, and her quest to find freedom and love in a world of bitter and ironic circumstances.
