There are few women in the history of literature who have been more active in humanitarian projects than Pearl S. Buck. After spending the first four decades of her life in China, she moved to the United States and became an outspoken figure in the civil rights, movement contributing articles regularly to the Crisis, the Monthly Magazine of the NAACP. She also spoke out against British colonialism, the wartime internment of Japanese Americans and the development of nuclear weapons, just to name a few of her causes. This paper focuses on her struggle to come to terms with her child’s mental retardation and the implications it had on social reform in America.
