Willa Cather

Willa Cather (1873–1947) was an American writer renowned for her novels depicting life on the Great Plains, including her 'Prairie Trilogy': O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918). Born near Winchester, Virginia, she moved to Nebraska as a child, which profoundly influenced her work; she later edited McClure's Magazine and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for One of Ours.
