Lifted Masks; Stories

Lifted Masks; Stories is a collection of short stories by Susan Glaspell, written in the early 20th century. The narratives explore themes of identity, gender roles, and societal expectations, reflecting the complexities of social life in the United States. The opening story, 'One of Those Impossible Americans,' introduces Virginia, a young American woman in Paris, as she grapples with her cultural identity and personal connections. Glaspell's work invites readers to examine the facades individuals maintain in society and the underlying reasons for such pretenses.
