Summary:

Imagine the deep South during the 1960s, a time of racial segregation and social change. 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett tells the story of three extraordinary women: Aibileen, an African American maid who has raised 17 children; Minny, her outspoken friend with a knack for trouble; and Skeeter, a young white woman aspiring to be a writer. Skeeter returns from college and becomes determined to reveal the injustices faced by the black maids working for white families. She convinces Aibileen and Minny to share their experiences, risking their jobs and safety. As their stories unfold, we witness the bravery and resilience of these women who challenge societal norms and strive for change. 'The Help' explores themes of racism, courage, and friendship, painting a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs of those fighting for equality. It's a powerful narrative that highlights the strength and dignity of women who dare to make a difference in a divided world.
