“The Help” not only captivates readers with its engaging narrative but also prompts reflection on the enduring impact of systemic racism. Stockett’s portrayal of the maids’ voices, which had long been silenced, gives a human face to historical struggles. The novel has been both praised and criticized for its depiction of race relations, sparking conversations about the responsibility of authors to tell stories outside their own experiences. Nevertheless, “The Help” remains an important work that encourages readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the past and consider the ongoing fight for equality.
