my antonia

 You Choose!
Willa Cather in her novel My Antonia (yes, a signal phrase) offers her view of life during the pioneer time.
 How would My Ántonia be different if it were told from Ántonia's perspective?
 How effective is Cather, a woman, at narrating a story from the point of view of a man? Does Jim sound like a man writing, or does the narrative sound like a woman pretending to be a man?
Why do you think Jim changed the title from Antonia to My Antonia?
