Reviews with content warning for Abortion - A Raisin in the Sun

I enjoyed reading this play due to the interessting and in my opinion realistic family dynamics. I like the insight we als readers get into a black family in the 1930 in America and the generational conflics portraited by Hansberry.

I loved this— there were some minor things that didn’t land for me but this is certainly one of the greatest classics I’ve read and my rating will probably improve with time

I don't read a lot of plays, but I really enjoyed this way. It is really intense and emotional and sad, but also really funny! Funny in that dark way, in that self-reflective way. Walter pissed me off, and as a black woman, it was interesting and all too real to read into the race and gender politics at play between him and the women in his life, Mama, Ruth, and Beneatha.
