Ferber’s enduring love of America and its workers is a theme that resonates throughout her work which still inspires readers to this day. In 1925 she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel "So Big", a story about a widowed woman struggling to work a farm by herself while raising her son. She was known for books that featured strong female protagonists. Even before her experiences in New York she began to write and publish short stories and novels. She moved to New York City where she met a wide array of friends which at one point led her to join the Algonquin Round Table which was a loose association of intellectuals who discussed a variety of topics. Her early experience in journalism led her to a life of writing. At age 17, she began working for the Appleton Daily Crescent, a small newspaper in Appleton, Wisconsin. Ferber’s sense of herself as a Jew and her adult responses to antisemitism were also shaped by the pain of those years. The daughter of Jewish parents, she suffered from extensive anti-Semitic abuse as a child which haunted her for the rest of her life. She was born in Michigan, but her family moved frequently as her father pursued business interests. Įdna Ferber (1885-1968) was an American novelist and playwright.
