Ferber, Edna (1887-1968), writer Born on August 15, 1887, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Edna Ferber grew up there and in Appleton, Wisconsin. She began her career at 17 as a reporter in Appleton, later working for the Milwaukee Journal. Her early stories introduced a traveling petticoat saleswoman named Emma McChesney, whose adventures are collected in several books, including (1915). Ferber's characters are firmly tied to the land, and they experience conflicts between their traditions and new, more dynamic trends. Although her books are somewhat superficial in their careful attention to exterior detail at the expense of profound ideas, they do offer an accurate, lively portrait of middle-class Midwestern experience in 1920s and '30s America. After So Big (1924), for which she won a Pulitzer Prize, and Show Boat (1926), which became a popular play, critics hailed her as the greatest woman novelist of the period. Her novels Cimarron Saratoga Trunk Giant (1952), and Ice Palace (1958) were all made into motion pictures. Her autobiographies, A Peculiar Treasure (1939) and A Kind of Magic (1963), evince her genuine and encompassing love for America. Ferber died in New York, New York, on April 16, 1968.

Half Portions Edna Ferber The short stories in this collection take the reader from small-town Wisconsin to the bustling streets of New York and Chicago and back again. While they range greatly in length and tone, they all share the trademark wit and affectionate insight of Edna Ferber. Showcasing the facility with words that made her a mainstay at the Algonquin round table, Ferber explores some of her favorite themes: the role of women (especially strong or unconventional women) in modern society, the mores of the midwestern small town, and the changes over time in relationships between parents and children. In "The Maternal Feminine," a plain, overlooked child grows into a strong, resourceful businesswoman and forms a strong motherly bond with the children of her more attractive sister. In "April 25th, As Usual," an aging Wisconsin couple reluctantly join their successful daughter in New York, where they try to adjust to a very different lifestyle. "Old Lady Mandle"is a bittersweet tale about an elderly Chicago mother coming to terms with the fact that she is no longer the most important woman in the life of her grown son. "One Hundred Per Cent" features Ferber's celebrated heroine Emma McChesney, now re-married, seeing her husband off to war. The stories gathered here are beautifully observed chronicles of early twentieth-century life and are filled with characters who, despite their very human foibles, are all bestowed by Ferber with warmth and dignity.

Ferber was born in Kalamazoo, Mich., but as a tot moved to Ottumwa with her parents, Julia and Jacob, a storekeeper. From Iowa, the Ferbers moved to Appleton, Wis., where Edna, realizing she was not "pretty," gave up her dream of becoming a stage actress. Instead, she turned to writing, starting out as a reporter. Her first novel, "Dawn O'Hara," was published in 1911 after her mother fished it out of the furnace, where Ferber had tossed it when she received many rejection letters. Later came her blockbuster successes, with settings spanning the American landscape: "So Big" (1924), which brought Ferber the Pulitzer Prize, "Show Boat" (1926), "Cimarron" (1929), "Come and Get It" (1935), "Saratoga Trunk" (1941) and "Giant" (1952). Many of her works were turned into lavish movies starring Hollywood's elite. "Show Boat" was filmed three times, in 1929, 1936 and 1951.
