Bravo!  I answered your post before you edited it, so I only meant to say that she had won the Nobel Prize – but it was indeed Nadine Gordimer I had in mind. Back to the game: Real person? EDIT: I don’t believe it! You edited your post again before I had written mine! New question: Was she an artist?

Even though she was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1991, her name is not a household word like Tolkien. In addition to her writing she’s known for her fight against apartheid (her writing is actually a part of that fight), and she’s a friend of Nelson Mandela.  Was she European?

^Eh … if she was born before 1851, how could she die 130 years later? Maybe you want to ask another question …
