JULIA PETERKIN
Small card with signature of the Pulitzer Prize winner
Signature: "Julia Peterkin", 3½x2½ card. Accompanied by 3½x2½ card with typed caption
identifying her Prize-winning work. Novelist and short story writer Julia Peterkin
(1880-1961), a native speaker of the Gullah language of coastal South Carolina, was a white
author who avoided racist stereotypes in her writing. Scarlet Sister Mary, a feminist comedy,
won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929. (The accompanying card says 1928, but that was the year the
book was published; it won the prize the following year.) Scarlet Sister Mary was made into a
Broadway play starring Ethel Barrymore in 1930. In the 1930s, Peterkin worked for the
Federal Writers' Project, collecting folklore from white and black communities of rural
South Carolina. Lightly toned. Adhesive residue at top edge on verso. Otherwise, fine
condition.
