Celia Ray Foote a woman from the 1960’s, a time of racism sexism and hardship for the colored people in America, is not the smartest woman in the book but she is the kindest and most beautiful. Celia never learned to cook even after all the lessons Minny, her maid, has given her throughout the time Celia hired Minny. Celia only stays at home and doesn’t leave.
Even Minny her made thinks she is stupid she says “Oh I hate her! I hate that stupid woman!” Celia can't boil coffee even after three months of trying. Celia can’t process that the other women do not like her and are jealous of her. She shows this several times throughout the book the first was when she keeps calling them yet they don’t return her calls. The second time is at the benefit
