I'm currently reading Passing and Quicksand by Nella Larsen, an American novelist of biracial descent. Passing is about a light-skinned African-American woman who manages to escape poverty by passing for being a white woman.

According to her Wikipedia page:
She was not writing (and never would again), appeared to be depressed. After her ex-husband's death, Larsen returned to nursing. She disappeared from literary circles. She lived
on the Lower East Side, and did not venture to Harlem. [8]

Many of her old acquaintances speculated incorrectly that she, like some of the characters in her fiction, had crossed the color line to "pass" into the white community. George Hutchinson's recent biography of Larsen demonstrated that she remained in New York, working as a nurse, and avoiding contact with her earlier friends and world. Does anyone know if she herself in her later years tried to pass in society, or the names of other Harlem Renaissance artists who leveled such charges against her?

Miss the part where her friends speculated incorrectly about that? She never tried to pass.
