| - Maurine Whipple (January 20, 1903 – April 12, 1992) was an American novelist and short story writer best known for her novel The Giant Joshua (1941). She won the 1938 Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship for writers working on their first novel. The book is about southern Utah and polygamy. Whipple's parents both grew up in polygamist households, and Whipple grew up in St. George, Utah. She attended the University of Utah and taught in schools for several years. Whipple had many infatuations and brief relationships with men. After attending the 1937 Rocky Mountain Writer's conference, she made connections that led to her publish The Giant Joshua with Houghton Mifflin. Afterwards, she made plans for more novels, but never published them. She published This is the Place: Utah, a travel guide to Utah, in 1945, to mixed reviews.
