What does it mean to be a "good" woman? The question haunts us still, decades after Toni Morrison published "Sula" in 1973. This slender novel-barely 200 pages-quietly revolutionized American literature by daring to center a friendship between two Black women who refuse easy categorization. While Morrison's "Beloved" won the Pulitzer, "Sula" cuts deeper in some ways, asking uncomfortable questions about loyalty, morality, and the price of freedom. Oprah called it "one of the most moving books I've ever read," yet it remains less discussed than Morrison's other masterworks. Perhaps that's because it refuses to offer comfort. Nel Wright and Sula Peace grow up as inseparable friends in a Black neighborhood called the Bottom, but their bond-intense, complicated, ultimately tragic-defies every conventional narrative about female friendship. One becomes the community's model of respectability; the other its symbol of evil. Yet Morrison forces us to question whether these labels mean anything at all.
