Fanny Herself (1917) is a novel by Edna Ferber. Inspired by her
experience as a young Jewish woman from the Midwest, Fanny Herself
is the story of a young woman who recognizes the unhappiness in her
life and decides to risk it all for something better. Lighthearted
in nature, yet serious in its ideals, Ferber's novel recalls the
best of Fitzgerald in its unswerving commitment to humanity in all
its beauty and heartbreak. "You could not have lived a week in
Winnebago without being aware of Mrs. Brandeis." Such a confident
pronouncement proves even truer for young Fanny, whose mother is
the Mrs. Brandeis in question. As the owner of Brandeis' Bazaar-a
successful store raised from the ashes of her deceased husband's
chronic mismanagement-Molly Brandeis is a deeply serious woman who
wants nothing but the best for her daughter. Where they differ, of
course, is in the definition of that deceptive superlative. While
Molly wants to train her daughter to follow in her managerial
footsteps, Fanny dreams of training as an artist in order to escape
the confinement of small-town life. Consistently moving, frequently
funny, and supremely true, Fanny Herself is an underappreciated
novel from Pulitzer Prize winning author Edna Ferber. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Edna Ferber's Fanny Herself is a classic work of
American literature reimagined for modern readers.
