  3. Willa Cather

Willa Cather was an American author who wrote novels, short stories, poetry, and essays. She was born in Virginia in 1873 and moved to Nebraska with her family when she was nine years old. Her experiences growing up on the Great Plains influenced her writing, and she is best known for her novels about pioneer life in the American West. Cather won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1923 for her novel "One of Ours." She died in 1947 at the age of 73.

Here are some of her most famous works:

* O Pioneers! (1913)
* The Song of the Lark (1915)
* My Ántonia (1918)
* A Lost Lady (1923)
* Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927)

Cather is considered one of the most important American authors of the 20th century. Her work is praised for its beautiful prose, its strong female characters, and its insights into the American experience.

Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.

Willa Cather

Willa Cather

Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
