Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was Margaret Mitchell's only novel?"
Gone with the Wind, published in 1936, was the only novel written by Margaret Mitchell. The sweeping Civil War epic, centered on the fiercely determined Scarlett O’Hara in Georgia during and after the American Civil War, became an immediate and record-breaking bestseller. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937 and was later adapted into the iconic and award-winning 1939 film. Although Mitchell wrote other pieces of journalism earlier in her career, she never published another novel, making her a true literary one-hit wonder.
