	Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
		Marjorie Kinnan was born August 8, 1896, in Washington, D.C. A writer from an early age, she won a prize of $2 for a short story published in the Washington Post in 1907.
		In 1933, the couple divorced; but Rawlings was so drawn to the natural, untamed beauty of the land and the simplicity of the rural lifestyle that she continued to live at Cross Creek on and off for the rest of her life.
		The style in which Rawlings wrote is typically referred to as local color or regional writing because the themes that so often populate her stories and novels are about the organic fabric of rural life.

		Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings saw beauty and inspiration in the lives of poor farmers struggling to survive in an often harsh wilderness.
		Rawlings and her husband both found jobs at a newspaper in Rochester, New York, where for years Rawlings was assigned to write feature stories and light poetry intended for women readers.
		Rawlings felt instantly at home among the lakes, marshes, pine trees, and orange groves of Cross Creek's "scrub country." She immediately began to keep a journal of her impressions, describing the native plants and animals, her hard work in the orange grove, and the dialect and traditional customs of her neighbors.

		Although Rawlings is best known for her 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Yearling, which is largely considered to be a children's book, she wrote a substantive body of short stories that highlight her powers of observation, ironic wit, and keen eye for detail.
		These stories are steeped in the locale of the Florida backwoods, yet the themes are universal, and although Rawlings was not a feminist, her female characters are feisty and do not suffer lightly indignities imposed by men (for example, in "Gal Young Un").
		Rawlings was a purveyor of justice, which is evident in her treatment of male characters and her sensitivity to the plight of fls.
