Wendy Wasserstein was an award-winning American playwright and an Andrew Dickson White Professor-at-Large at Cornell University. She was the recipient of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

After graduating from Mount Holyoke College in 1971, she received an M.F.A. from the Yale School of Drama. Her first production, ‘Uncommon Women and Others’, displayed her signature wry, comical style, and was subsequently produced for television by PBS. Other plays include ‘The Sisters Rosensweig’, ‘An American Daughter’ and ‘Third’. Her 1989 play, ‘The Heidi Chronicles’, won a Tony Award for best play and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Wasserstein gave birth to a daughter, Lucy Jane, in 1998. The playwright was hospitalized with leukemia in December 2005 and died on January 30, 2006.
