Nella Larsen (1891-1964) is one of the most well-known names in the Harlem Renaissance canon and a fixture in African American and women's studies, though much of her personal history remains elusive. She also worked as a nurse and a librarian, and she was the first African American woman to receive a Guggenheim fellowship.
