Mitchell, Margaret

Born Nov. 8, 1900, in Atlanta, Ga.; died there Aug. 16, 1949. American writer.

Born into a wealthy Southern family, Mitchell became a journalist in 1922. Her only novel, Gone With the Wind (1936), was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1937; the book went through more than 70 editions and was translated into many languages. A film by the same name, directed by V. Fleming, was released in 1939.

In her novel, Mitchell vividly portrayed life in the American South during the Civil War and the Reconstruction. Although she depicted the degradation of the decadent, idle slaveholders, Mitchell idealized plantation life at a time when it was being shattered by capitalist ways.
