About Us

The Willa Cather Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Cather's legacy through education, preservation, and the arts

Willa Cather is one of the most important American novelists of the first half of the twentieth century. Seen as a regional writer for decades after her passing in 1947, critics have increasingly identified Cather as a canonical American writer, the peer of authors like Hemingway, Faulkner and Wharton..
