		Gwendolyn Brooks' first published book of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville, 1945, shows the effects of war and poverty, crowded kitchenette apartments and unfaithful spouses, abandonment and abortion, and domestic abuse and prejudice on the people who live on one unnamed street in a fl neighborhood in Chicago known as Bronzeville.
		This thesis seeks to show that the women and men of Bronzeville idealized beauty and that this idealization was shaped by derogatory messages delivered through both the white and fl-owned media.
		The third chapter looks beyond Bronzeville to the poetry and words of Brooks' next two books, Annie Allen (1949) and Maud Martha (1953) to understand how the critique of beauty that began to take rise in the poetry of Bronzeville was to be a central topic to Brooks as her career progressed.
