On this day, January 24, in 1862, writer Edith Wharton was born in New York City. The first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature (in 1921 for The Age of Innocence) she was also nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Her writing style “combined her insider’s view of America’s privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight.” She was also considered a major trend-setter and wrote several books on gardening and interior design. She died at age 75 of a stroke in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt, France.
