Pearl S. Buck
Article Abstract:
Author/journalist and Nobel laureate Pearl S. Buck was to become the most influential Westerner to write about China since Marco Polo in the 13th century. No writer before or since has so personally in books and various publications molded the imaginative terms in which the US views a foreign culture.

She remained influential on race, women and children's welfare issues even after her prominence as a China faded in the 1950s.
