About this listen

One of Edna Ferber’s most important early novels. Meet Fanny Brandeis—sturdy, alert, and endlessly determined. Edna Ferber’s Fanny Herself (1917) follows a Jewish-American woman in a small Wisconsin town who dares to dream beyond her circumstances. With wit, grit, and piercing brown eyes that see the world too clearly, Fanny struggles to balance duty, ambition, and her own individuality in a society that resists women’s independence.

Rediscover Edna Ferber’s bold early novel—a portrait of a woman’s resilience and ambition at the dawn of modern America.

Perfect for fans of strong heroines, historical fiction, and classic literature.
