In this graduation speech, given in 1979 to the students at Barnard College, a prestigious all-women's college in New York City, Toni Morrison addressed the issue of women's rivalry toward other women. Easily one of the greatest American writers, Morrison's novels frequently address the issue of slavery, intergenerational trauma, racism, and privilege, particularly in her novels The Bluest Eye and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Beloved.
