Wharton who was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (5)

I believe the answer is:

edith

(Other definitions for edith that I've seen before include "Female name" , "Dame - Sitwell, English poet (Facade)" , "Woman" , "Osbert's sister" , "Dame ----- Evans (1888-1976), stage and screen actress" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
