المستخلص: The search for woman’s identity is much more than a recurrent or pervasive theme in Willa Cather’s fiction. It is, in fact, the very essence of her writing. In her work, she self-consciously examined the issues of gender and sexuality, excelled in this genre and influenced writers of later generations. Her works are principally about rethinking the politics of patriarchy and about giving aesthetic shape to woman’s life. A feminist reading of Cather can illuminate certain aspects in her world, inform her work and provide a lens through which to examine questions about her interest in the New Woman’s identity as a social phenomenon in the American society at the beginning of the twentieth century. However, what makes Cather’s fiction very special is her dealing with such a social issue from a philosophic intellectual perspective giving her text, therefore, a universal dimension. This article is, in fact, an attempt at relating Cather’s interest in the reworking of gender identities to the context of larger cultural and historical settings. It is a rereading of her fictional works from a Feminist-Existentialist perspective that aims at highlighting the philosophical depth and universal dimension of her art. Although long classified as a local-colourist, a regional writer concerned with the reproduction of her home country Nebraska, its pioneers, the West and its immigrant communities in a realistic nostalgic way, and despite the seeming simplicity of her fiction, Cather remains a very subtle and intelligent writer.
