<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Fanny Herself</i> (1917) is a novel by Edna Ferber. Inspired by her experience as a young Jewish woman from the Midwest, <i>Fanny Herself</i> 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, <i>Fanny Herself</i> 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 <i>Fanny Herself</i> is a classic work of American literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Growing up in a Jewish family in the small town of Winnebago, Fanny has always felt different.
