Ethel Waters was born in Chester, Pennsylvania,as a result of her mother’s rape at age 13. thel Waters was raised in a violent, impoverished home. She never lived in the same place for more than 15 months. She said of her difficult childhood, “I never was a child. I never was cuddled, or liked, or understood by my family.” Despite this unpromising start, Waters demonstrated early the love of language that so distinguishes her work.
