Edna St. Vincent Millay was an American poet and playwright. She received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923 and was also known for her feminist activism. She used the pseudonym Nancy Boyd for her prose work. Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in Rockland, Maine, on February 22, 1892. In 1912, at her mother’s urging, Millay entered her poem “Renascence” into a contest: she won fourth place and publication in The Lyric Year, bringing her immediate acclaim and a scholarship to Vassar College. There, she continued to write poetry and became involved in the theater. At the request of Vassar’s drama department, she also wrote her first verse play, The Lamp and the Bell, a work about love between women. In 1919, she wrote the anti-war play Aria da Capo, which starred her sister Norma Millay at the Provincetown Playhouse in NYC. Millay’s 1920 collection A Few Figs From Thistles drew controversy for its exploration of female sexuality and feminism. Millay won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923 for "The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver"; she was the third woman to win the poetry prize. Millay called herself Vincent from a young age having taken the name from St. Vincent’s Hospital, where her uncle’s life was saved. Vincent had a famously magnetic personality: both men and women were captivated by her wit and desire for fun. She had many suitors before and during her marriage to Eugen. Ever mysterious, she reserved her smiles for her home life, and she was adamant that professional portraits and photographs convey a serious, closed-mouthed expression—a reserve that only increased her appeal. Millay was a petite woman with a young face and conspicuously red hair. The very model of a Greenwich Village bohemian, she was prolific and fiercely dedicated to her craft, often formulating and writing her poems completely in her head before committing them to paper. Millay's poems' included such topics as sex, the liberated (freed from traditional roles) woman, and social justice. Though she wrote in traditional forms, her subject matter; her mixed tone of unconcerned calm, courage, and extreme force; and her lyric gifts were highly appreciated in her time. #wcw #herstory #timeless
