| Willa Cather(l873-1947)was an American female writer who was born in Virginia, she moved with her parents to the Midwest state of Nebraska when she was young. The special life experience pushed her to have the impulse to describe life of frontier America and she became the first female writer who wrote on this subject, in her Nebraska series pioneer novels, In her Nebraska series of pioneering novel My Antonia, she contains “equality, friendship, female awareness” and criticizes the male expansion of “utilitarianism, discourse power control”, so as a female writer, her ecological acuity is reflected. By analyzing the realization process of the heroes' ecological self in the novel, the values of “honesty, reciprocity, care, friendship” as the core value are presented, and these values have become the combination of “female principle” and “ecological principle”. |
