Randy Kraft returns to the studio during Women's History Month to discuss three ground-breaking women writers: Willa Cather, Emma Wharton and Virginia Woolf.

An American writer and designer, Wharton realistically portrayed in her works the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.

In contrast to Wharton, Cather's novels featured life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. She became the second woman to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during World War I.

Virginia Woolf was an English writer and one of the most influential 20th century modernist authors. She pioneered the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device. Her works include The Voyage Out, To the Lighthouse, Orlando: A Biography, and Between Acts.
