born as: Margaret Wilhemina Wilson
Wilson, born in Iowa, found missionary work in foreign lands disturbing because of the demands it made on her compassion. She returned to the United States to teach for a while and then began writing novels. Both The Able McLaughlins (1923), Pulitzer Prize 1924, and Law and the McLaughlins (1936), a sequel, deal with the life of Scottish pioneers in Iowa. Wilson wrote frankly from a woman's viewpoint for women readers. Among her other novels are The Kenworthys (1925), Daughters of India (1928), One Came Out (1932), The Valiant Wife (1933), and Devon Treasury Mystery (1939). In 1923 Wilson married G.D. Turner of Oxford, and moved to England. - Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia of American Literature
