1301．Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime.She was known around the world for using poetry to increase the understanding of black culture in America.
Her poems described the condition of the poor，racial inequality and drug use in the black community.She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people.She was an expert at the language of poetry.She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry，Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago.The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live.In her poems，the South Side is called Bronzeville.It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945.Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time.The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950，Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen.Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter，a wife and mother.She experiences loneliness，loss，death and poverty.Ms Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha.Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published.But now it is considered an important work by some critics.Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.
In some other poems，Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are.One example is this poem， "Corners on the Curving Sky".

But now，younger Kayan women are turning away from the tradition of their ancestors.Mu Tu is one of the few women who knows how to make the traditional rings and put them on.She is 48 years old.She says，"The shorter sets are easier to make.Everyone has their own preference.So if someone doesn't like what you've put on，you have to take it off and start over."
83-year-old Maria Khaing has been wearing rings on her neck，wrists and knees since she was eight."My dad told me I looked like a boy，and he would buy me a gun to hunt as a man.But I said every girl is wearing the ring，so I want to wear the rings，too."Maria never removes the rings，even when cooking，eating or working."It is comfortable.At first it was hard but now it's fine.I eat and food goes down，"she said.
Wearing neck rings was once expected of all Kayan women.But more and more have started toshun the practice.Maria's granddaughter，20-year-old Za Oo，is among those who have not kept with the tradition."They're heavy and uncomfortable.Also I don't know much about them，that's why I don't wear them，" she said.
What is known is that besides extending the women's necks，the practice also crushes collarbones（锁骨） and causes discomfort when swallowing.Even Mu Tu admits that safety is a concern."If you don't make the rings correctly，someone can choke，"she said.
Whether safety or changing fashion，many young Kayan women are turning their backs on the tradition.Experts say there are now fewer than 100 long-neck women in Myanmar.That is down from about 300 to 400 in the 1990s.
