She set many of her early stories in Natchez and the surrounding area, including some of her more famous ones, like “A Worn Path” and “Old Mr. That knowledge nourished her imagination and supplied her with numerous settings for her works. More importantly, perhaps, during her employment with the WPA, Welty gained a knowledge of Mississippi’s backroads, its people, and its fabulous history. She took hundreds of photographs of depression Mississippi, some of which were published to almost universal acclaim in One Time, One Place (1971) and Photographs (1989). She maintained throughout her life that her experiences during these months of WPA employment were invaluable to her writing and publishing career. She had for some time been interested in photography, and in 1935 she took a job with the Works Progress Administration, which had her traveling throughout Mississippi taking photographs of conditions during the depression. At home at the beginning of the Great Depression, she worked for a Jackson radio station and wrote a Jackson society column for the Memphis, Tennessee, Commercial Appeal. She continued to write for student newspapers. At age eleven, for example, in 1920, she published a poem in the children’s magazine St. Welty had already begun writing even as a little girl. She did graduate study in New York City at Columbia University, but returned to Jackson for good in 1931 at the death of her father. She spent her first two years of college at Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus, then transferred for her final two years to the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Except for lots of travel in Europe and in the United States, including an extended stay in San Francisco during the 1940s, she lived in Jackson her entire life, becoming, as she told Katherine Anne Porter, “underfoot locally” - a humorous phrase by which she described a fairly active social life and an involvement in community affairs. She was born April 13, 1909, in Jackson, Mississippi. At the same time, her work responds in numerous ways to the more public issues of Mississippi’s social and historical landscape.

Welty goes to the very marrow of our lives - to the deepest most intimate places where we live the most intimate parts of our daily lives. She has written with precision and insight about these delicate though monumentally important structures. She explores both the relationships between husband and wife and those between parents and children, in particular those relationships between mothers and daughters. Welty’s complex body of work explores the interiors of family structures. Literary critics believe her work will become a more and more enduring fixture of the American literary canon, as scholars and readers continue to explore her works in order to understand them better.
