On this day, December 7, in 1873, Willa Cather was born in Gore, Virginia. Known for her lyrical and personal works about frontier life on the Great Plains (her family moved to Nebraska when she was nine years old), some believe she was a lesbian due to her mannish style in hair and clothing, her cadre of female friends (she lived with editor Edith Lewis for the last 39 years of her life), and because she sometimes referred to herself as “William”, but there is no direct evidence to support that belief. In 1922, she won the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, set during WWI. The author of O Pioneers! and My Ántonia died in 1947 of a cerebral hemorrhage; she was 73.
