Pearl S. Buck (1892 - 1972) was a novelist and Presbyterian missionary who received both a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize. Despite being forced to resign from the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions by the actions of John Gresham Machen[1], she wrote a tribute to Machen in the New Republic:

[Machen] was worth a hundred of his fellows who, as princes of the church politics and trim their sails to every wind.[1]
