Who wrote the novel Beloved?

  1. Alice Walker

  2. Louisa May Alcott

  3. Toni Morrison

  4. Zora Neale Hurston

The correct answer is: Toni Morrison

The correct answer is Toni Morrison. Alice Walker is a notable Black female author as well, but she did not write the novel Beloved. Louisa May Alcott was not a Black author, and she did not write Beloved either. Zora Neale Hurston, while an influential author in the Harlem Renaissance, was also not the author of Beloved. Only Toni Morrison wrote the novel Beloved, a beloved (pun intended) and critically acclaimed piece of literature which won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993.
