Willa Cather grew up on the Plains of Nebraska to become a Pulitzer Prize winning author who introduced the Nebraska prairie and its diverse people to the world. While her memorable characters resonate across generations, Cather's iconic image still leaves an impression on readers and scholars. At an early age she began to carefully manage her appearance for the public, using clothing as a symbol and statement. While still a teenager, Cather rebelled against conventional Victorian ladylike dress and shocked classmates and neighbors by cutting her hair short, wearing masculine clothing and renaming herself "William Cather." As a grown woman who loved culture, she indulged in beautifully crafted textiles and fashionable, yet comfortable clothing when she dressed to attend the opera.
