- catalog description "Dorothy West Papers. Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University.".
- catalog description "Dorothy West, an African American writer, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1907. Her father had been a slave as a child and became a successful businessman. West began writing when very young; her story "The Typewriter" won second prize in a 1926 contest in the journal Opportunity. She then moved to New York City and became part of the Harlem Renaissance, publishing stories in magazines and the Daily News. She visited the Soviet Union with a group of African American writers in 1933. In the 1930s, West was editor and publisher of two African American literary journals, Challenge and New Challenge. Around 1943 West moved to Martha's Vineyard, where she eventually wrote a weekly column for the Vineyard Gazette. Her first novel, The Living is Easy, was published in 1948. Her second novel, The Wedding, was published in 1995, and was later made into a television miniseries. A volume of her collected short stories was also published in 1995. West died in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 16, 1998.".
