A delightful collection of short stories by Edna Ferber an American novelist and short-story writer. “Roast Beef, Medium” is the first of three volumes chronicling the travels and the adventures of Emma McChesney, a divorced mother and her seventeen-year-old son, Jock. In this wise and high-spirited tale, roast beef becomes a metaphor for the family life the ''Career Woman'' feels she is missing. By the example of the saleswoman Edna Ferber tries to break men’s judgment that a women’s job is in the house.
