    Content: This work tells the story of the central relationship of novelist Willa Cather's life, her nearly 40-year partnership with Edith Lewis. Cather has been described as a distinguished artist who turned her back on the crass commercialism of the early 20th century and as a deeply private woman who strove to hide her sexuality, and Lewis has often been identified as her secretary. However, Lewis was a successful professional woman who edited popular magazines and wrote advertising copy at a major advertising agency and who, behind the scenes, edited Cather's fiction. Recognizing Lewis's role in Cather's creative process changes how we understand Cather as an artist, while recovering their domestic partnership (which they did not seek to hide) provides a fresh perspective on lesbian life in the early 20th century.
