Who is the only woman to win the Booker Prize twice?

English author Hilary Mantel is the only woman to win the Booker Prize twice. She first won the award in 2009 for Wolf Hall, the opening installment in a trilogy based on the life of Thomas Cromwell. Three years later Mantel again won the Booker, this time for the second volume in the series, Bring Up the Bodies.
