Fanny Fern

    Fanny Fern, nata Sara Willis, fu una giornalista, umorista e autrice americana la cui grande popolarità derivava dal suo stile conversazionale e dal suo acuto senso di ciò che interessava al suo pubblico prevalentemente femminile di classe media. Le sue opere, in particolare l'autobiografia fittizia Ruth Hall, sono diventate un argomento popolare tra gli studiosi femministi di letteratura. La Fern eccelleva nella scrittura giornalistica, diventando la columnista meglio pagata degli Stati Uniti nel 1855. La sua voce distintiva e la sua capacità di catturare lo spirito del suo tempo la rendono una figura significativa nella letteratura americana.
