Edna Ferber

    15. august 1885 – 16. apríl 1968

    Edna Ferberová bola americká prozaička, ktorej diela sa často zameriavali na silné ženské postavy a rôznorodé vedľajšie postavy. Prostredníctvom svojich príbehov Ferberová skúmala ľudskú povahu a obhajovala myšlienku, že všetci ľudia si zaslúžia rešpekt. Jej štýl bol známy živým zobrazovaním postáv a tém, ktoré rezonovali so širokým publikom. Jej literárny prínos spočíva v jej jedinečnom pohľade na americký život a vo vykresľovaní postáv, ktoré často čelili diskriminácii.
