Edith Wharton
Edith Newbold Wharton (; ; January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper-class New York "aristocracy" to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel, ''The Age of Innocence''. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are ''The House of Mirth'', the novella ''Ethan Frome'', and several notable ghost stories. Provided by Wikipedia-
