Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton was a pioneering American author and designer who drew from her experiences in New York's upper-class society to create realistic portrayals of Gilded Age life.
Her novel "The Age of Innocence" won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1921, making her the first woman to receive this honor.
Wharton's other notable works include "The House of Mirth" and "Ethan Frome." She was known for her elegant prose, insightful social commentary, and exploration of complex human relationships.
