Miss Lulu Bett

About this book

At the time of her death in 1938, Zona Gale's life story embodied all of the elements of the stereotypic feminist heroine of the late nineteenth century: After an idyllic childhood in a tranquil Midwestern farming village, Gale earned a graduate degree at the University of Wisconsin, worked as a newspaper reporter in Milwaukee and New York, attained some recognition as a writer of popular novels, and in 1921, earned a Pulitzer Prize for drama.
