Alma Routsong (November 26, 1924 – October 4, 1996) was an American novelist best known for her lesbian fiction, published under the pen name Isabel Miller.〔 〕 ==Biography== Alma Routsong was born in Traverse City, Michigan on November 26, 1924 to Carl and Esther Miller Routsong. During World War II she served in the WAVES, training at the Farragut, Idaho Naval Training Center〔Traverse City ''Record-Eagle'', August 17, 1945.〕 and then working as a hospital apprentice. She graduated from Michigan State University in 1949 with a degree in art. Routsong's first two novels were published under her own name, with the later works under the pen name Isabel Miller, a combination of an anagram of "Lesbia" and her mother's maiden name. Between 1968 and 1971 she worked as an editor at Columbia University. From the mid-1970s until 1986 she was a proofreader for ''Time Magazine''.〔Elizabeth M. Wavie, "Isabel Miller" in Sandra Pollack and Denise D. Knight (eds) Contemporary Lesbian Writers of the United States, (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1993), pp 354–360.〕 In 1971 the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table created the first award for GLBT books, the Stonewall Book Award, which celebrates books of exceptional merit that relate to LGBT issues. ''Patience and Sarah'' by Routsong (pen name Isabel Miller) was the first winner. Routsong was an officer in the New York chapter of Daughters of Bilitis〔Hogan and Hudson, ''Completely Queer''〕 and was arrested during a DOB police raid.〔
