Description
Born in Kalamazoo, MI, Ferber (1885-1968) moved with her family to Chicago and Iowa before settling in Appleton, WI at age 12. After graduating from high school, she was a reporter on the *Appleton Daily Crescent* and later the *Milwaukee Journal* before publishing her first novel. ***Fanny Herself***, a story of a young girl coming of age in Appleton at the turn of the 20th century, is generally considered to have been based on Ferber’s own experiences. Regarded by many as the “greatest American woman novelist of her day,” Ferber would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1925 for ***So Big***. She was also the author of ***Showboat*** and ***Cimarron***, which along with other of her later works were successfully adapted for stage and screen. Three of her books were developed into musicals.
