Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937)

  Edith Wharton excelled at complex characterization and insightful social commentary.  Her books focused on America, particularly New York (hence Martin Scorsese's use of Wharton's The Age of Innocence - winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize - for his 1993 film of the same title).  She was the first woman to receive an honorary Yale doctorate.
