Nella Larsen (1891-1964) was one of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Born in Chicago to a Danish mother and a West Indian father, the latter of whom died when she was two, she worked as a nurse and a children's librarian before her first story was published in 1926. On the strength her acclaimed novels Quicksand (1928) and Passing (1929), she became the first black woman to be awarded a Guggenheim fellowship. She never again published, spending the remainder of her life working as a nurse in a Brooklyn hospital.
