Aibileen
is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who's always taken orders quietly,
but lately she's unable to hold her bitterness back. Her friend Minny has never
held her tongue but now must somehow keep secrets about her employer that leave
her speechless. White socialite Skeeter just graduated college. She's full of
ambition, but without a husband, she's considered a failure. Together, these
seemingly different women join together to write a tell-all book about work as a
black maid in the South, that could forever alter their destinies and the life
of a small town. The 2011 film adaptation received numerous awards including
“Best Supporting Actress” Octavia Spencer.
