Margaret Wilhelmina Wilson was born on the 16th January 1882 in Traer, Iowa. Her early years were spent on the family farm before she enrolled at the University of Chicago and obtained degrees in 1903 & 1904. On graduating she became a missionary for the United Presbyterian Church of North America and was sent to the Punjab in India to work at a girl's school and then a hospital. Illness meant a return home in 1910. She would spend the next few years at the divinity school of The University of Chicago and to teach at West Pullman High School. She also took care of her invalided father and wrote a number of short stories which were published in various magazines including the Atlantic Monthly. Many of these explored the role of religion and the secondary status of women in society. In 1923 she won a $2000 writing prize offered by Harper & Brothers. That same year she married George Douglas Turner, who she had met in India 19 years before. Turner was a tutor at Brasenose College, Oxford and later the warden of Dartmoor Prison. She was now to live in England. In 1924 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her novel 'The Able McLaughlins' She continued to write, using in various novels, her experiences of all those years before in India and to continue to explore women's role in society although, at times, her critics were apt to label her work as melodramatic. Her interest in penal reform provoked a non-fiction study 'The Crime of Punishment' (1931) and also influenced two of her eight adult novels, 'The Dark Duty' (1931) and 'The Valiant Wife' (1933). Her final work was a children's book 'The Devon Treasure Mystery' (1939). Margaret Wilhelmina Wilson died on the 6th October 6, 1973.

The McLaughlins are prominent members of a settlement of Scottish immigrants who emigrated to the still-wild prairies of Iowa. As the story begins, their eldest son, Wully, returns to the family farm after serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. But much has changed in his absence: the girl who once returned his love, Chirstie, now appears cold, fearful, and traumatized, and won’t meet his eye. Wully seeks to discover what happened to her during his absence, and what he can do to set things right, without having Chirstie lose her standing in their tight-knit and very religious Presbyterian community. Margaret Wilson grew up on a farm in the small town of Traer, and her understanding of the land and its people infuses this, her first novel. The Able McLaughlins won the Harper Novel Prize on publication and then the Pulitzer Prize in 1924. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

The Americans experienced great social change in the decade following World War I. They were restless, often discontented, searching for the good life--the one promised to the generation who, cheered on by patriotic slogans and propaganda, enlisted to fight on European battlefields. While young writers such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald romanticized the lives of Americans in postwar Europe and the U.S., a number of women authors in the 1920s looked through a darker lens. The novels of Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Margaret Wilson, Edna Ferber, Ellen Glasgow, Dorothy Scarborough and Dawn Powell--set mainly in the 19th century--searched the past for the origins of postwar upheaval, especially with respect to the status of women. Today, a few iconic male novelists of the 1920s are synonymous with the spirit and culture of the Jazz Age. This book focuses on their female contemporaries--largely neglected by both critics and readers--who remain relevant for their exploration of timeless social and psychological themes, the battle of the sexes and its tragic consequences.

This novel was written in the early nineteen twenties as a tribute to the fallen American soldiers of the Great War. It tells the story through the medium of an only child, the apple of his mother's eye, who on being able to enlist does so immediately. Even as he says goodbye to his mother there is a sense of the inevitable. Much earlier he had been encircled by a cloud of yellow butterflies ( the symbol of immortality) and his mother had marveled at the sight.

Banned in Boston when it was first published in 1928, Scarlet Sister Mary is the story of a sexy, independent, and outspoken woman who lives to please herself. Abandoned by her husband, the heroine takes many lovers, loses her firstborn son, and eventually "finds peace" as a church member, although she refuses to give up her love charm and her gold hoop earrings. Scarlet Sister Mary shocked readers with its sensual portrayal of a black woman's private life, but it was universally lauded for its honesty and courage. The first edition sold more than one million copies worldwide, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1929.
