She began her writing career as a journalist, but later focused on fiction and produced some of her most famous works, including O Pioneers!, My Ántonia, and Death Comes for the Archbishop. Her writing was praised for its poetic language and deep understanding of human nature. Cather's legacy continues to live on, and her works are still enjoyed by readers around the world.
