Autorenporträt
Zona Gale was an American novelist, short story writer, and playwright, recognized for her contributions to early 20th-century literature. Born on August 26, 1874, in Portage, Wisconsin, her works often explored themes of small-town life and personal transformation. Her close bond with her parents shaped much of her writing, imbuing it with a sense of warmth and a deep understanding of human relationships. Gale s most famous work, Miss Lulu Bett, earned her the distinction of being the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921. Throughout her career, Gale focused on the social dynamics and emotional landscapes of the communities she depicted, using her characters to highlight broader societal issues and the complexities of personal growth. In 1928, she married William L. Breese, and together they had two children. Zona Gale passed away in 1938, leaving behind a legacy that includes both her plays and novels, which continue to be appreciated for their nuanced portrayal of American life.
