Fanny Fern

    Fanny Fern, vlastním jménem Sara Willis, byla americká novinářka, humoristka a spisovatelka, která si získala obrovskou popularitu svým konverzačním stylem a citem pro témata, která zajímala její čtenářky z nižší střední třídy. Její díla, zejména fikční autobiografie Ruth Hall, se stala předmětem zájmu feministických literárních badatelů. Fern vynikala v psaní pro noviny a v roce 1855 byla nejlépe placenou sloupkařkou ve Spojených státech. Její jedinečný hlas a schopnost zachytit ducha doby z ní činí důležitou postavu americké literatury.
