Zona Gale (1874-1938) was an American novelist and playwright who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921. She earned multiple degrees from the University of Wisconsin following which she spent several years as a journalist before turning to fiction full-time. The Wisconsin Historical Society writes of her that “Gale first won attention for her short stories set in the fictional town of Friendship Village. Published in 1908, Friendship Village proved very popular, and she went on to write a series of story collections set in the town.”
