Toni Morrison, professor, Princeton University
selected as one of the Top 10 Black Women in Higher Education.

Easily, the most celebrated black author in the world, Toni Morrison writes historical fiction in soul-moving and rhythmic prose. Capturing African-American history and all the laughter and darkness of the human condition with equal incisiveness, each of her books has commanded the attention of critics and book lovers everywhere. Her professorship at Princeton University attracts young scholars eager to learn in the presence of the Pulitzer-prize (1988) and Nobel-Prize (1993) winning novelist. Born Chloe Anthony Wofford, in Lorain, Ohio, Morrison is the daughter of working class parents. A graduate of Howard and Cornell, Morrison has taught at Texas Southern, Howard, Yale and now Princeton. She is also a former editor at Random House.
