Zora Neale Hurston was one of the great talents of the Harlem Renaissance - but had to work as a manicurist to support herself.
Even though she went to Howard University and was an accomplished author and anthropologist, she could not make a living from her writings. Her works include short stories, novels, anthropological folklore, an autobiography and at least one play.
