Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American author best known for her novels exploring the complexities of upper-class society in the Gilded Age. Born into a prominent New York family, she wrote with keen insight and sharp social observation. Her major works include The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome, and The House of Mirth. Wharton was also a skilled short story writer and travel essayist, and the first woman awarded the Pulitzer for Fiction.
