When Zona Gale won the Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 1920 (the first woman to do so), she was one of the most famous authors in America. Today, she is nearly forgotten, but her work is well worth a new look.
“The most wonderful thing about this film is its success at conveying a sense of the life and person of Zona Gale without using facts and figures—a beautiful interpretation of an artist’s perception of the world.” —Library Journal
