Fannie Hurst (October 18, 1885 - February 23, 1968) was an
American novelist. She was born in Ohio to a Jewish family. In 1921, Hurst was
among the first to join the Lucy Stone League, an organization that fought for
women to preserve their maiden names. She was active in the Urban League, and
was appointed to the National Advisory Committee to the Works Progress
Administration in 1940. She was also a delegate to the World Health
Organization in 1952. Her novels are not well remembered today, and she is best
known for screen adaptation of her works such as "Imitation of Life".
The first full biography of Hurst was published in 1999 by Brooke Kroeger. Apassionata
was one of her lesser known novels, with only one initial print run in 1926.
