Isabel Wilkerson
Isabel Wilkerson is no stranger to success. In 1994, she became the first woman of African-American heritage to win the Pulitzer Prize in journalism. And in 2010, after years of intense research and writing, Isabel published The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration. Fans had been waiting for her next brilliant book and were not disappointed when she published Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. The book became a New York Times bestseller and an Oprah’s Book Club pick. Longlisted for the National Book Award, it was named one of the 10 best books of the year by The Washington Post and Publisher’s Weekly and one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review.
