A Fanny Fern Reader features a selection of Fern's columns, mostly from her years as a weekly columnist for the New York Ledger, along with an introduction that shares the remarkable story of Fern's perseverance and success as a woman in a male-dominated profession. For readers in her own time, Fern's frank and unbridled social commentary and boldly satirical voice made her a household name. Fern's subversive and witty commentary about social mores, gender roles, childhood, authorship, and family life transcend time and continue to resonate with and entertain readers today. A Fanny Fern Reader is the most extensive collection of Fern's newspaper writings to date and includes several works that have been out of print for over a century, making this author's writing on a wide range of issues accessible for readers within and outside of classrooms and academic settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49351160725731,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781438498522","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
