Instead of Toni Morrison's genius enables her to create novels that arise from and express the injustices African-Americans have endured," I think that a one-word change to "Toni Morrison's genius enables Ms. Morrison to create novels that arise from and express the injustices African-Americans have endured." It sounds redundant, but I think that it's correct with the change I mention. Personally, I think this is an unbelievable nitpicky question. The original statement conveys the idea very clearly. I'd hate to see a kid miss out because of a question like this.

Nitpicky, yes. Substitution, no.
Personal pronouns are commonly used as nouns, for instance, 'I love her.'
One presumes, and rightly, that the woman in question is NOT an adjective. :^)

How about: "Her genius enables Toni Morrison to create novels that arise from and express the injustices African-Americans have endured,"?
