Fanny Fern

    Fanny Fern, born Sara Willis, was an American newspaper columnist, humorist, and author whose great popularity stemmed from her conversational style and keen sense of what mattered to her predominantly middle-class female readership. Her works, particularly the fictional autobiography Ruth Hall, have become a popular subject among feminist literary scholars. Fern excelled in newspaper writing, becoming the highest-paid columnist in the United States by 1855. Her distinctive voice and ability to capture the spirit of her time make her a significant figure in American literature.
