Celebrate ninety years of Gone with the Wind, the novel that captured the nation’s imagination and transformed American storytelling. Step into the world of Margaret Mitchell—a sharp-witted Atlanta journalist, avid reader, and accidental novelist—whose Southern roots and fascination with Civil War lore gave rise to Scarlett O’Hara, Rhett Butler, and a saga that defined an era.
Trace Gone with the Wind from page to screen, explore its whirlwind success, and reflect on its enduring power, controversy, and cultural impact. Nine decades later, Mitchell’s masterpiece continues to provoke conversation, stir emotion, and sweep readers away.
