In 1937, Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for Literature for her work, and the movie based on the book won nine academy awards. Mitchell is pictured on the 1¢ Great Americans stamp.
 
Issued between 1980 and 1999, the Great Americans definitive series features 63 designs, making it the largest set of face different Regular Issue stamps issued in the 20th century. One stamp honors a couple (Lila and Dewitt Wallace) while the remaining 62 commemorate individuals.
