She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1921. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Willa Sibert Cather was an American writer who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains. Cather graduated from the University of NebraskaLincoln. She lived and worked in Pittsburgh for ten years, supporting herself as a magazine editor and high school English teacher.
