Fanny Fern

    Fanny Fern, rodená Sara Willis, bola americká novinárka, humoristka a autorka, ktorá si získala obrovskú popularitu svojím konverzačným štýlom a citom pre témy, ktoré zaujímali jej čitateľky zo strednej triedy. Jej diela, najmä fiktívna autobiografia Ruth Hall, sa stali predmetom záujmu feministických literárnych vedcov. Fern vynikala v písaní pre noviny a v roku 1855 bola najlepšie platenou stĺpkarov v Spojených štátoch. Jej jedinečný hlas a schopnosť zachytiť ducha doby z nej robia dôležitú postavu americkej literatúry.
