In Susan Glaspell’s era (1876-1948) men may have seen her work of fictional compositions as ill-mannered, laxity and unskillful for prejudice and chauvinist intentions; However female readers believe Ms. Glaspell is a talented novelist and this is seen in many of her works for the reason that the stories the reader has observed by her in many examples as “Lifted Faces” (1912), “Suppressed Desires” (1915), “Trifles” (1916), “A Jury of Her Peers” (1916) and in “ A Woman’s Hour”(1918) in which demonstrates a great deal of extraordinary abilities to create, captivate and harness your attention with depth subject matters with a thought provoking visualization that is still relevant today. The reader observed confidence in her understandings of women’s rights, rational thoughts, observances, creations and in her personal life’s history. Ms. Glaspell drew on being a woman first then as a human being. As the reader examine excerpts of her novels it was realized that many of her fictional characters faces the triviality from men hence the book titled trifles.
Quotes by Susan Glaspell, in the novel Lifted Masks a collection of short stories.
“What men have thought about life in the past is less important than what you feel about it to-day.”
“In writing ... remember that the biggest stories are not written about wars, or about politics, or even murders. The biggest stories are written about the things which draw human beings closer together.”
