Lorraine Hansberry attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she was one of the few Black students in her class. She later transferred to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she continued her studies in painting and writing. Her experiences at these predominantly white institutions influenced her perspectives on race and social justice, which she later explored in her works.
Lorraine Hansberry faced several obstacles throughout her life, including racial discrimination and gender bias in the predominantly white and male-dominated world of theater. As a Black playwright, she struggled to gain recognition and support for her work, particularly with her groundbreaking play "A Raisin in the Sun," which was the first Broadway production written by an African American woman. Additionally, she encountered resistance from both the establishment and her own community for addressing controversial social issues such as racism, class struggles, and gender inequality. Despite these challenges, Hansberry's contributions have had a lasting impact on American theater and civil rights.

Lorraine Hansberry drew inspiration for "A Raisin in the Sun" from her own experiences growing up in a Chicago neighborhood with her family, who faced racial discrimination when they attempted to move into a predominantly white area. The title of the play is derived from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which contemplates the fate of a dream deferred. Hansberry wanted to explore the struggles and aspirations of African American families, highlighting themes of identity, dreams, and systemic racism. Her personal and familial experiences deeply informed the characters and their challenges within the narrative.

She had a decent childhood, despite segregation. She was raised by her mom, Leona Edwards McCauley, and maternal grandparents, Sylvester & Rose Edwards. Her dad, Jim McCauley, left for good when Rosa was 5 and Sylvester was 3. She never saw him again until she and Raymond were married. She moved to Pine Level, Alabama with her grandparents, and worked on a cotton field with her brother.
