Where and when was Harper Lee born?

Harper Lee is most famous for writing the outstanding American novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee was born on April 28, 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. Lee released To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960 but didn't publish another novel until 2015. Go Set a Watchman (actually the original title of Mockingbird) was a sequel to her first novel and a continuation of the story told by Scout Finch.
Like her character Scout, Nelle Harper Lee grew up in a small town and was the daughter of a lawyer. She attended the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and also spent a summer at Oxford University in England. After college she moved to New York and for several years worked as an airline ticket agent. All the while, however, she was working on her fiction, and in 1956 she was able to quit her job and pursue her writing full time thanks to the generosity of Broadway composer Michael Martin Brown.
Lee presented a novel titled Go Set a Watchman to a publisher in 1957, and after two years of revisions with editor Tay Hohoff released the book with a new name. It immediately became a Book-of-the-Month Club and Literary Guild selection. It remains one of the most important books in the American literary canon.
