Appleton and Company as a book in New York and in London. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize. Though the committee initially agreed to award the prize to Sinclair Lewis, the judges rejected his "Main Street" on political grounds and "established Wharton as the American 'First Lady of Letters'", the irony being that the committee had awarded "The Age of Innocence" the prize on grounds that negated Wharton's own blatant and subtle ironies, which constitute and make the book so worthy of attention.
