Edna St. Vincent Millay, an American poet and playwright, gained fame for her work in the Roaring Twenties. Writing under the name Nancy Boyd, she was recognized for her prose and verse. Millay was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923 and later received the Frost Medal in 1943 for her contributions to American poetry. Although her reputation waned in the 1930s, she experienced a renewed interest through feminist literary criticism in the 1960s and 1970s.
