Willa Cather Biografía y Hechos

Wilella Sibert Cather (Black Creek Valley, Virginia, 7 de diciembre de 1873-Nueva York, 24 de abril de 1947), más conocida con el nombre de Willa Cather, fue una escritora estadounidense de novelas y de relatos. En 1923 ganó el Premio Pulitzer por Uno de los nuestros (1922), una novela ambientada en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Su obra maestra es Mi Ántonia (1918). También se la conoce por su lucha por la igualdad de género[1]​ y su defensa de la diversidad racial. Otros resaltan su aprecio a la iglesia católica por su fusión de culturas.[2]​ Biografía Cuando Cather tenía nueve años su padre trasladó a toda la familia a un rancho cerca de Red Cloud, un pueblo en Nebraska de unos 2500 habitantes, por lo que conoció la dura vida de los pioneros.[3]​Empeñada en llamarse Willie, en recuerdo de su pariente ilustre William Sibert Boak, acabó firmando Willa.[4]​Estudió en la Universidad de Nebraska, donde mantuvo una relación amorosa con Louise Pound.[5]​[1]​ Al graduarse en 1895, se instaló en Pittsburg, donde trabajó como periodista para el The Home Monthly. En 1901, dejó el trabajo para dar clases de Latín y Griego en una escuela de secundaria. Tras el periodismo y la enseñanza, y habiendo mediado un viaje a Francia, decidió dedicarse por completo a la literatura. Se estableció en la ciudad de Nueva York con su compañera Edith Lewis, con la que convivió durante 39 años hasta su muerte en 1947.[5]​ Se hizo famosa por sus novelas en las que retrata la vida cotidiana de personajes ordinarios de los Estados Unidos; empleaba, para ello, un lenguaje igualmente cotidiano. Su obra refleja al inicio una fuerte influencia del novelista Henry James, aunque más tarde encontró una expresión personal para centrarse en la descripción de Nebraska, lugar en el que vivió con su familia desde los nueve años, logrando el éxito entre la crítica y el público. También publicó relatos breves y ensayos literarios. Escribió para diarios como el Home Monthly o The New York Times.[1]​ En obras como La muerte llega al arzobispo (1927) y Una mujer perdida (1923), con gran nostalgia por lo antiguo y tradicional, más que el reflejo de la época busca un modelo ético para sí misma. En su lírica, elegíaca, como la de Edward Estlin Cummings, pervive el arte de reanimar la naturaleza de Emily Dickinson y actualiza los días juveniles, ávidos de progreso, de Thoreau, Emerson y Whitman al áspero momento presente de humo, acero y guerra. Como tantas otras mujeres de la historia que no se atreven a salir del armario, Cather era una "persona privada" que disfrutaba de la reclusión y destruyó muchos de sus antiguos borradores y cartas antes de su muerte. Lillian Fadermen, en Surpassing the Love of Men, indicó que los protagonistas masculinos de Cather eran "sospechosamente autobiográficos" y que, debido al estigma en torno a la homosexualidad en el que creció Cather, "tal vez sintió la necesidad de ser más reticente sobre el amor entre mujeres que incluso algunos de sus contemporáneos patentemente heterosexuales, porque llevaba una carga de culpa por lo que llegó a ser etiquetado como perversión".[5]​ Falleció el 24 de abril de 1947 en la ciudad de Nueva York.[6]​ Reconocimientos En 1923 ganó el Premio Pulitzer por su novela Uno de los nuestros, que estaba ambientada en la Primera Guerra Mundial.[1]​ Obra Novelas Alexander's Bridge (1912), El puente de Alejandro.

Algunas personas creen que es imposible determinar si sentía atracción por las mujeres,[9]​[10]​ mientras que otros consideran que sí era lesbiana.[11]​[12]​[13]​ La investigadora Deborah Carlin sugiere que la negación de que Cather fuera lesbiana tiene su origen en la consideración de la atracción por personas del mismo sexo "como un insulto hacia Cather y a su reputación", y no en una perspectiva histórica neutral.[14]​ Melissa Homestead considera que Cather se sintió atraída hacia Edith Lewis, y al hacerlo, se pregunta: "¿Qué tipo de pruebas se necesitan para establecer que se trataba de una relación lésbica? ¿Fotografías de ambas juntas en la....
