Autor

Born in 1873 in Gore, Virginia, Willa Cather moved to Nebraska at age nine, an experience that shaped her literary voice. Surrounded by immigrant settlers, she found inspiration in their resilience and the stark prairie landscape. This early exposure to frontier life became the foundation of her celebrated narratives.After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1895, Cather worked in journalism and teaching while honing her craft. Her time at McClure's Magazine in New York helped refine her storytelling and transition into fiction. During this period, she began exploring themes of pioneer life and the human spirit.Cather gained acclaim with O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918), which captured frontier struggles and triumphs. In 1923, she won the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, set during World War I. Through evocative prose and rich character studies, she became a defining voice in American literature.
