Fanny Fern Ordre des livres (chronologique)
Fanny Fern, née Sara Willis, fut une chroniqueuse, humoriste et auteure américaine dont la grande popularité découlait de son style conversationnel et de sa perception aigüe de ce qui importait à son lectorat féminin, majoritairement de classe moyenne. Ses œuvres, en particulier l'autobiographie fictive Ruth Hall, sont devenues un sujet d'étude prisé par les spécialistes féministes de la littérature. Fern excellait dans l'écriture journalistique, devenant la chroniqueuse la mieux payée des États-Unis en 1855. Sa voix distinctive et sa capacité à capturer l'esprit de son époque en font une figure marquante de la littérature américaine.
