Half Portions - An Edna Ferber Short Story Collection
This collection of short stories by Edna Ferber provides a fascinating glance into the everyday lives of men and women living in 1910s America. The much-loved character Emma McChesney makes a special appearance in ‘One Hundred Percent’.

Witty and insightful, Edna Ferber is known for her ability to write wondrously real characters, particularly strong female protagonists. This collection includes nine short stories set around the years devastated by World War I. From small-town Wisconsin to the bustling city streets of New York and Chicago, Ferber presents characters of all ages and backgrounds. She delves into the ever-growing relationships between parents and their children and examines the lives of successful businesswomen.

This collection features nine short stories:

 - ‘The Maternal Feminine’

 - ‘April 25th, As Usual’

 - ‘Old Lady Mandle’

 - ‘You’ve Got To Be Selfish’

 - ‘Long Distance’

 - ‘Un Morso Doo Pang’

 - ‘One Hundred Per Cent’

 - ‘Farmer in the Dell’

 - ‘The Dancing Girls’

Originally published in 1920, Half Portions is comedic and touching, highlighting Edna Ferber’s incredible writing talent. This new edition features an introduction by Rogers Dickinson and would make the perfect addition to the bookshelf of fans of early feminist stories.
