Fanny Fern

    Fanny Fern, geboren als Sara Willis, was een Amerikaanse krantencolumniste, humoriste en schrijfster wier grote populariteit voortkwam uit haar conversationele stijl en haar scherpe gevoel voor wat haar overwegend vrouwelijke lezerspubliek uit de middenklasse bezighield. Haar werken, met name de fictieve autobiografie Ruth Hall, zijn een populair onderwerp geworden onder feministische literatuurwetenschappers. Fern blonk uit in het schrijven voor kranten en werd in 1855 de bestbetaalde columniste van de Verenigde Staten. Haar unieke stem en haar vermogen om de geest van haar tijd vast te leggen, maken haar tot een belangrijke figuur in de Amerikaanse literatuur.
