AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
WILLA CATHER
Wilella Sibert Cather was born in Virginia on December 7, 1873. Her family moved to a Nebraska homestead when she was 9. Willa grew up to be one of the premier American authors of the 1900's.
As a child, she didn’t want to be a writer at all. She once stated,
“The fact that I was a girl never damaged my ambitions to be a pope or an emperor.”
​
Over time, Cather would create 12 novels, numerous essays, four collections of short stories, three non-fiction titles, and one volume of poems. In 1913, she began working on what she called her Prairie Trilogy, reviving her childhood memories of Nebraska.
​
By the time she died in 1947, Willa Cather was one of the most well known and critically acclaimed novelists of the 20th century. Her work shows how the people and places we encounter in our lives can inspire us to accomplish greatness and leave behind a legacy that will encourage future generations.
