24 LGBTs We Admire List was released today by Giant Life, which included Pulitzer Prize winner Alice Walker.
Legendary womanist poet Alice Walker is notorious for writing on race, gender and the politics of sex and sensuality. Her magnum opus, her critically-lauded novel The Color Purple, which encompassed these topics, won her the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983 and drew as much controversy as she did praise. Her road to fame from her humble beginnings as the eighth child of Georgia sharecroppers, Walker helped recover lost work of art from Zora Neale Hurston and has become an outspoken activist against female circumcision.
