I'm doing research on obscure poets and authors. I'm particularly interested in the women of the Harlem Renaissance. Angelina Weld Grimke (1880-1958) preceded the Harlem Renaissance but is acknowledged as one of the early influences. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts into a biracial family. Ms. Grimke started writing when she was young and had some of her poems published in black journals. Topics ranged from love and nature to racial injustice and black pride. She also wrote plays, short stories and essays. After her father's death in 1930, Ms. Grimke never published any other work.
