Passing by Nella Larsen 

First published in 1929, this sophisticated story is about two girlhood friends who are reunited unexpectedly in Chicago to find that they have made opposite choices - one has cut all ties to her past to marry a white man who has no idea of her background, while the other has chosen to stay in an African American community, though still living with lies of a different kind. Larsen shows the limits placed on those who are "too black" and "too feminine" to be recognized by any of the powerful in the 1920s.
