Mitchell grew up in Jackson Hill Atlanta hearing tales of the Civil War and Reconstruction in Atlanta from her grandmother attending women's suffrage rallies with her mother and being raised mostly Catholic all factors that would feed into her most well-known work "Gone with the Wind". "Gone with the Wind" was published June 30 1936 the result of years of work starting in 1928. Upon publication "Gone with the Wind" was an immense critical and commercial success selling over 1 million copies by the end of 1936 in spite of the ongoing Great Depression. The novel has been criticized for it's romantic depiction of the South derogatory depictions of African Americans and downplaying of the violent role of the Klu Klux Klan post-Reconstruction. Despite this "Gone with the Wind" remains an immensely popular work having received award-winning adaptations for the screen and stage and remains the second favorite book of Americans after the Bible as of a 2014 Harris poll. 1392180.
