Take Up the Song: Commemorating the Centennial Anniversary of Edna St. Vincent Millay's Pulitzer Prize for Poetry

This booklet celebrates the centennial of the award of the first Pulitzer Prize to a female poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay (VC 1917). On April 30, 1923, Millay received a letter informing her that she had won the $1,000 Pulitzer Prize in the category of poetry. The publications containing the poems for which she won the prize were published in 1922 and appear in an accompanying exhibit in the Thompson Memorial Library at Vassar College.
