The Fern

I had never heard of Fanny Fern before this class, but she was by far my favorite of this pod just because of her humor and wit. She stuck up for women in a way that made people feel like it was okay to speak out about things that were wrong, she could put men in their place in a time where that probably wasn't ideal. This lay was way ahead of her time, she was funny and smart and quick witted and we need more people in the world like Fern. It's no surprise that she was the highest paid columnist and that Nathaniel Hawthorne was a fan of hers.
I do plan on reading more of her work, she is one of those people I wish I could sit and talk to because I thinks he would have a lot of educational things to say about life.
