hi

Here , the modifier ( The first commercially successful drama to depict Black family life sympathetically and the first play by a Black woman) is talking about the same thing so why it has " and " . And is used for two different things .
So , how its referring to a single thing (A Raisin in the Sun)

Cant we use " and also " to refer to same things

Thanks
Neha

D. A novelist who turned away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, Selma Lagerlöf became in 1909 the first woman and also the first Swedish writer to win
