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.

Through the eyes of sociologist Van, listeners are invited into a land where motherhood is revered, cooperation triumphs over competition, and progress is built on logic, compassion, and education. As the men struggle to reconcile their expectations with reality, Herland challenges assumptions about gender, culture, and what it means to be civilized. With sharp wit and revolutionary insight, Charlotte Perkins-Gilman dismantles patriarchal norms and imagines a world transformed by equality and reason.
