Pearl was raised and educated in Chinkiang (Zhenjiang), China, but studied in the United States at Randolph Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, when she was seventeen. She returned to China after her graduation in 1914, and in 1917 Pearl married agricultural economist and missionary John Lossing Buck. The Bucks lived in Nanhsuchou (Nanxuzhou) in rural Anhwei (Anhui) Province and later in Nanking (Nanjing), China, until 1934. They had one biological daughter, Carol, who had severe intellectual and physical disabilities, and adopted another daughter, Janice.","Pearl began writing about Chinese peasant life and culture and the interactions between East and West in the 1920s, and her first novel,  East Wind, West Wind,  was published in 1930. She published the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel  The Good Earth  in 1931, and went on to write more than seventy novels, plays, and short stories and to author numerous articles and essays. Other early books include  Sons  (1932),  A House Divided  (1935),  The First Wife and Other Stories  (1933),  All Men are Brothers  (1933, translation),  The Mother  (1934),  The Exile  (1936),  Fighting Angel  (1936), and  This Proud Heart  (1938). In 1938 Pearl Buck was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.","By 1935, Pearl had divorced her husband and married her publisher and editor, Richard J. Walsh. They settled at Green Hills Farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to be close to Carol, and the Walshes adopted six more children. Pearl was a prolific writer, and most of her fiction remained set in China and the Far East. Other novels include  Dragon Seed  (1942),  Pavilion of Women  (1946),  God's Men  (1951),  Come, My Beloved  (1953),  Imperial Woman  (1956),  Letter from Peking  (1957), and  The Living Reed  (1963). However, due to personal and political circumstances, Pearl never returned to China after she left in 1934.","Pearl campaigned tirelessly for issues related to Chinese human rights, interracial understanding, and orphaned and disabled children for the rest of her life. In 1949 she founded Welcome House, the first interracial adoption agency in the United States. In 1964 she established the Pearl S. Buck Foundation to provide medical care and education for Amerasian children. Pearl also championed civil rights and women's rights in the United States.","Richard Walsh died in 1960, and in the early 1960s Pearl began a loving relationship with lifelong friend William Ernest Hocking that lasted until Hocking's death in 1966.

Pearl was raised and educated in Chinkiang (Zhenjiang), China, but studied in the United States at Randolph Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, when she was seventeen. She returned to China after her graduation in 1914, and in 1917 Pearl married agricultural economist and missionary John Lossing Buck. The Bucks lived in Nanhsuchou (Nanxuzhou) in rural Anhwei (Anhui) Province and later in Nanking (Nanjing), China, until 1934. They had one biological daughter, Carol, who had severe intellectual and physical disabilities, and adopted another daughter, Janice.","Pearl began writing about Chinese peasant life and culture and the interactions between East and West in the 1920s, and her first novel,  East Wind, West Wind,  was published in 1930. She published the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel  The Good Earth  in 1931, and went on to write more than seventy novels, plays, and short stories and to author numerous articles and essays. Other early books include  Sons  (1932),  A House Divided  (1935),  The First Wife and Other Stories  (1933),  All Men are Brothers  (1933, translation),  The Mother  (1934),  The Exile  (1936),  Fighting Angel  (1936), and  This Proud Heart  (1938). In 1938 Pearl Buck was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.","By 1935, Pearl had divorced her husband and married her publisher and editor, Richard J. Walsh. They settled at Green Hills Farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to be close to Carol, and the Walshes adopted six more children. Pearl was a prolific writer, and most of her fiction remained set in China and the Far East. Other novels include  Dragon Seed  (1942),  Pavilion of Women  (1946),  God's Men  (1951),  Come, My Beloved  (1953),  Imperial Woman  (1956),  Letter from Peking  (1957), and  The Living Reed  (1963). However, due to personal and political circumstances, Pearl never returned to China after she left in 1934.","Pearl campaigned tirelessly for issues related to Chinese human rights, interracial understanding, and orphaned and disabled children for the rest of her life. In 1949 she founded Welcome House, the first interracial adoption agency in the United States. In 1964 she established the Pearl S. Buck Foundation to provide medical care and education for Amerasian children. Pearl also championed civil rights and women's rights in the United States.","Richard Walsh died in 1960, and in the early 1960s Pearl began a loving relationship with lifelong friend William Ernest Hocking that lasted until Hocking's death in 1966. By 1969, Pearl had moved to Danby, Vermont. Pearl S. Buck died in Vermont in 1973 and is buried at Green Hills Farm in Pennsylvania.","4052","Papers of Pearl S.
