“The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.”
– Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973)
Pearl Sydenstricker Buck, most familiarly known as Pearl S. Buck (June 26, 1892 - March 6, 1973), was a prolific writer and Nobel Prize winner. Pearl Buck was an extremely passionate activist for human rights. In 1949, outraged that existing adoption services considered Asian and mixed-race children unadoptable, Pearl established Welcome House, Inc., the first international, interracial adoption agency that has been operating for nearly five decades. Many of Buck’s life experiences are described in her novels, short stories, fiction, and children’s stories. Through them she sought to prove to her readers that universality of mankind can exist if man accepts it. She dealt with many topics including women’s rights, emotions, Asian cultures, immigration, adoption, and conflicts that many people go through in life.
