English: Lillian Smith (
1897–
1966) was a writer and social critic of the
Southern United States, known best for her best-selling novel Strange Fruit (
1944). A white woman who openly embraced controversial positions on matters of race and gender equality, she was a southern liberal unafraid to criticize
segregation and work toward the dismantling of
Jim Crow laws, at a time when such actions almost guaranteed social ostracism.
