My Antonia is a pioneer and important book written by Willa Cather. The book describes a woman's difficult immigrant existence in the Midwest and her desire for a better life. The story of Jim Burden, an orphaned youngster from Virginia, and Antonia Shimerda, the eldest child of Bohemian immigrants, who were both sent as children to be pioneers in Nebraska at the end of the 19th century, is told in the book. The Bohemians (of the modern Czech Republic) are the immigrants the novel primarily concerns themselves with, but there are also Swedes, Norwegians, Russians, Austrians, and Hungarians. But, how do Jim and Antonia make themselves pioneers? To find this answer, readers should go through this book!
