"Mr. Pulitzer, tell us more!" or "The hard facts"

Christmas is nearly over, unfortunatelly I have to work between Christmas and New Year. Therefore let's use this day for a post about some facts on the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.

The answer of the (yester-) day

Here are some hard facts on the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography:

As of today:

• The Pulitzer Prize is named after the publisher Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911).
   
• The category Biography or Autobiography is one of 22 categories that are currently awarded (another 16 categories were formerly awarded but are not today).
   
• Offered since 1917 the Prize for Biography or Autobiography is, together with five other categories, the oldest denomination currently awarded.
   
• Since 1917 the Prize for Biography or Autobiography was until now awarded 97 times.
   
• 1938 the Prize was split between Odell Shepard and Marquis James
   
• In 1962 the Prize was not awarded at all.
   
• Of the 92 awardees, 14,1 % are women.
   
• Ten authors recived the Prize twice.
   
• The youngest author to recive the Prize was Carleton Mabee, who - when awarded the Prize in 1944 - was just 30.
   
• The oldest author to revive the Prize was Katharine Graham, who - when awarded the Prize in 1998 - was 81.
   
• Twice the Prize was awarded posthumously.
   
• John F. Kennedy, awarded the Prize in 1957, was until now, the only US President to recive the Prize.

I think that will do for today.

Question of the day:
Now, what about Edward Bok's autobiography???
