Nella Larsen, a pioneering writer of the Harlem Renaissance, was born in Chicago, Illinois. Known for her novels Quicksand (1928) and Passing (1929), Larsen explored themes of racial identity, gender, and class with psychological depth and nuance. As one of the first Black female novelists to gain national acclaim, her work remains influential in both literary and cultural studies.
