Influenced by the prose of the American regional writer Sarah Orne Jewett , Cather set many of her works in Nebraska and the American Southwest, areas with which she was familiar from her childhood. Born near Winchester, Virginia, Cather moved with her family to Red Cloud, Nebraska, when she was ten years old. She graduated from the University of Nebraska before becoming a newspaperwoman and teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She moved to New York City in 1906 to work as an editor on McClure's Magazine.
Extractions: Name: Willa Sibert Cather Birth Date: Death Date: Place of Birth: Winchester, Virginia, United States Nationality: American Gender: Female Occupations: author Willa Sibert Cather Main Biography The American author Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947) is distinguished for her strong and sensitive evocations of prairie life in the twilight years of the midwestern frontier. Her poetic sensibility was in sharp contrast to the naturalistic and Freudian-influenced literary movements of her time. Willa Cather was born in Winchester, Va., but at the age of 9 moved to Nebraska, where her father had bought a farm. Her immediate response to the stark grandeur of the prairie and her involvement in the life of the Bohemian and Scandinavian immigrants provided her with both the material and an unadorned manner of expression for her novels. Although she was educated largely by her mother, her knowledge of English literature and Latin was sufficient for her to do excellent work at the University of Nebraska. Leaving the prairie for the first time in 1900, she moved to Pittsburgh and found employment as editor, drama critic, and high school teacher.

Extractions: In her life and work, Willa Cather is remembered as a pioneer much like the women, artists, and immigrants she chronicled in her fiction. Determined to have her voice heard, Cather ignored conventional notions of a woman's place in society, living an independent life and remaining true to her artistic vision. Her descriptive skill, insight into human character, and precise prose style have earned her a place among the great writers of America. Cather spent the first 10 years of her life in Back Creek, Virginia, where her father made a living raising sheep on his father's farm. In 1883, the family relocated to Nebraska, where her grandparents had already established a new farm. In 1884, her father moved the family to the prairie town of Red Cloud, where Cather spent the rest of her childhood. Although the town was small her high school graduating class had only three students it left an indelible mark on Cather's imagination. The open prairies and the immigrant people who settled there are featured in no fewer than seven of her books. In 1891, Cather entered the University of Nebraska. During her first year, a professor submitted her essay on Thomas Carlyle for publication in a Lincoln newspaper. Cather later recalled that seeing her name in print had a "hypnotic effect." Following graduation, she accepted a job in Pittsburgh, editing the

Extractions: Chilhowie High School, Virginia Read another essay on Cather by Nebraska student Rebecca Fowler I. Biography Willa Sibert Cather, the eldest of four children in the Cather family, was born on December 7, 1873. She was born in Back Creek Valley, near Winchester, to Charles F. Cather and Mary Virginia Boak Cather. Her father gave her the name Willela after his younger sister who died as a child. He had a career as a deputy sheriff and Cather's mother was a homemaker. She had two brothers, Roscoe and Douglass, and one sister, Jessica. Cather refused to believe that she was named after her father's sister. Instead, she insisted that she was named after her mother's brother, William Seibert Boak. This led to her nickname, Willie, which stuck with her until her death in 1947. Cather spent most of her early childhood in the Shenandoah Valley, but at the age of nine, she moved with her family to Nebraska. The Cather Family spent two years on a farm in Catherton, Nebraska, which is in Webster County. Following these two years, they decided to move to Red Cloud, Nebraska so the children could attend school. Charles Cather opened up a loan and insurance office and provided services for Red Cloud's population of 2,500 people. Willa Cather was a tomboy right to the core! She had a strong hate for long hair, dresses, and skirts, so she wore trousers and kept her hair very short. Her mother was vain and had a concern with fashion ("Biography"). Willa's behavior in her apparel upset her mother, so her concerns were now focused on turning her daughter into a lady. Willa was very stubborn and refused to change in any way. Finally, her mother gave up on her useless attempts ("Biography").
