Fanny Herself
Paperback
(Book Jungle May 18, 2009)
Edna Ferber was an early 20th century American author and playwright. Ferber worked for several newspapers. She covered the 1920 Republican and Democratic national conventions for the United Press Association. Her novels often featured a strong female protagonist and often had a secondary character who faced some form of discrimination. In 1925 her novel So Big won a Pulitzer Prize. This is the story of Fanny Brandeis, a Jewish girl of energy and spirit, who is caught by the glamour of big business and works out her destiny along original lines. This intensely personal chronicle of a young girl growing up Jewish in a small midwestern town is the most autobiographical of Ferber's novels.
