Zona Gale
Zona Gale (1874–1938) was an American author and playwright, best known for her realistic portrayals of Midwestern small-town life. She became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921 with her play "Miss Lulu Bett," which she adapted from her own novel of the same name. Gale's works often explored themes of social reform and women's independence, reflecting her involvement in the suffrage movement. In addition to her writing, she was active in politics and supported progressive causes throughout her life.

We are one long street, rambling from sun to sun, inheriting traits of the parent...
