Personality Plus is an early novel by American author Edna Ferber. Personality Plus is the second of three volumes chronicling the travels and events in the life of Emma McChesney. Ferber achieved her first successes with a series of stories centering around this character, a stylish and intelligent divorced mother who rises rapidly in business.

Jock thought so too, quite suddenly. Just as suddenly Von Herman remembered the conventions and introduced them.

"My mother," proudly.

"Your mother! Then why—" She stopped.

Emma has to share the spotlight with her son this time around but she's still as worldly-wise and yet winningly human as ever.
