“Gone With the Wind” means a lot in Atlanta. After all, Ms. Mitchell, who published her novel in 1936, lived, died and was buried here. Her story of the South before and after the Civil War is one that Atlantans, who like to joke that they only get burned once, hold as one of the city’s great contributions to American culture.
“Gone With the Wind” sold over one million copies within six months, the novel was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, has been translated into over forty languages, and seventy-five years later remains one of the best-selling novels of all time.
Such an enduring novel is deserving of a remarkable celebration don't you think. Question is ... what to wear?? Are you using Scarlett O'Hara as your fashion muse? Decisions, decisions..
