Edna Ferber was a woman with a great wit and striking talent; she didn't just have huge stories to tell, she had the craft to tell them with wit and charm. Her novels and stories generally featured strong female protagonists, and generally she spent a good deal of the tale focusing on a secondary character facing discrimination of one sort or another. She was a member of the notorious Algonquin Round Table, a group of wits who met for lunch every day at the Algonquin Hotel in New York. When she died on April 16, 1968, (at her home in New York City, of cancer, at the age of 82) the "New York Times" said, "she was among the best-read novelists in the nation, and critics of the 1920s and 1930s did not hesitate to call her the greatest American woman novelist of her day."
