Well, probably the biggest struggle she faced was that she was African American living in the south, so it was definitely difficult for her to establish herself as an artist. Also, the fact that she was a woman couldn't have helped her during a time were still relatively repressed. She got married in 1907 and had a daughter, but her husband died after that so she had to move in with her parents are raise her daughter basically on her own. However, she then moved to Harlem where it was much easier for her to earn success as an artist and a teacher. She was married again but this one was not successful, either, as they were divorced shortly thereafter. And her third and final marriage also ended in tragedy; he died on a ship. One final struggle is that she was very poor.

That's just a basic overview; I'm sure with some digging, you'll be able to find more. :)
