Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949) was an American author and journalist, best known for her novel “Gone with the Wind,” which was published in 1936. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up in a wealthy family. Mitchell was an avid reader from an early age and wrote stories and plays as a hobby.
After graduating from high school, Mitchell attended Smith College in Massachusetts but dropped out in 1918 due to the flu pandemic. She returned to Atlanta and began working as a journalist for the Atlanta Journal, where she eventually became a feature writer.
In 1925, Mitchell married Berrien Kinnard Upshaw, a fellow journalist, but the marriage was unhappy and they divorced in 1927. Mitchell continued to work as a journalist and began writing “Gone with the Wind” in 1926. The novel was published ten years later and became an instant bestseller, selling over a million copies in its first six months.
Mitchell was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937 for “Gone with the Wind,” which was later adapted into a hugely successful film in 1939. Mitchell became a celebrity and was known for her reclusive nature, rarely giving interviews or public appearances.
Sadly, Mitchell died in 1949 at the age of 48 after being hit by a car while crossing the street in Atlanta. Despite only publishing one novel, Mitchell’s legacy as a writer and the enduring popularity of “Gone with the Wind” has made her one of the most significant American authors of the 20th century.
