Willa Sibert Cather (;[1] born Wilella Sibert Cather;[2] December 7, 1873[A] – April 24, 1947) was an American writer known for her novels of life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during World War I.

4. She was raised Baptist, became Episcopalian, and was sometimes taken as Catholic.
6. Cather was first of all a successful journalist, Managing Editor of McClure’s Magazine until 1912 when she left to become a full-time writer.
7. “Cather is now widely understood as a lesbian. She lived for 38 years in domestic partnership with Edith Lewis, a professional editor, in New York City.”
8. Cather said that O Pioneers!(1913) was her second first novel, because, unlike her actual first novel, Alexander’s Bridge (1912), it was where she found her feet [Write what you know!].
