Maurine Whipple
Maurine Whipple (20 January 1903 – 12 April 1992) was a twentieth-century American novelist and short story writer best known for her novel The Giant Joshua (1941)[1] about southern Utah and polygamy. The novel sold well but caused controversy among the Mormon community.[2] She won the 1938 Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship for The Giant Joshua, which was intended to be part of a trilogy.[3][4]
Whipple spent most of her life, including her early and later years, in Southern Utah. Her papers are in the special collections at Brigham Young University library.[5]
