Popular progressive fiction from the early years of the 1900rsquo;sBy JayliaEdna Ferberrsquo;s third and final book about savvy career woman Emma McChesney entertained me at least as much as the previous two, beginning with a flurry of excitement in the first chapter. After spending the last 15 years traveling between small Midwest towns or living in New York City, Emma sets off on a boat trip down the coast of the continent to sell her T. A. Buck Featherloom petticoats and skirts in Argentina, where she takes the country by storm. Based on the last two books I knew romance was headed Emmarsquo;s way, but shersquo;d been so determinedly independent I wasnrsquo;t sure I would like it--I did.Along with being good stories these books charmed and fascinated me by presenting a lively picture of how people lived, thought, worked, played, dressed, traveled, raised their children, and fell in love 100 years ago during the early decades of the 1900rsquo;s. In one chapter Emma was forced to deal with wealthy lady organizers bent promoting their pet cause, which wasnrsquo;t ldquo;Votes for womenrdquo; as I had guessed, but instead a self-righteous insistence based on their rigid uneven morality that working class ldquo;girlsrdquo; must be convinced to dress with drab unassuming modesty as befits their station. I would have been disappointed if Emma turned out to be an anti-suffragette, but Emma was right to poke a little good natured fun at these women.Ferber wrote all three Emma McChesney novels long enough ago that theyrsquo;re in the public domain so free ebook versions can be downloaded from sites like Project Gutenberg or here on . I listened to superbly narrated audio versions available on the Libravox website that made me almost enjoy my commute--I had witty Emma and her adventures to keep me occupied.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Always a winner!By Katherine HedlundI love Edna Ferber! She makes a small story, based around a petticoat company, seem like the biggest adventure out there. She invites you to love her characters, finding yourself inspired by their character and values. Her writing style is wonderful and beautifully descriptive. I will be sad when I've run out of her books0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not one of my favorite Edna Ferber books.By Kindle CustomerI personally believe that Edna Ferber's books should be included with or even before the boring depressing books of the likes of Steinbeck and Hemingway and all the other men that they forced me to read in high school and college. Most of her books are a slice of American life written in approximately the same time period. This book must be an early one. It kind of attempts to address insanity, divorce, and the newspaper business. I didn't finish it, I just went back and reread Saratoga Trunk. Edna Ferber was a 20th century American author whose novels, short stories, and plays were extremely popular during her era. She wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big, Show Boat, Cimarron, and Giant. "One of the most humorous and original love stories that has appeared for years." -- New York TimesAbout the AuthorBorn in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Edna Ferber (1885-1968) was a novelist, short-story writer, and playwright whose work served as the inspiration for numerous Broadway plays and Hollywood films, including Show Boat, Cimarron, Giant, Saratoga Trunk, and Ice Palace.
