Susan Glaspell

“In this spirited attempt to resurrect Glaspell’s other works, Ozieblo . . . has composed a complex, often frustrating portrait of a forward-thinking feminist who 'insisted that her life and achievements were uninteresting compared with those of her husband.'” — New York Times Book Review

“This book is a vivid account of America’s premiere feminist playwright of the early 20th century.” — American Theatre

“An engaging, provocative, and highly readable account.” — CHOICE

“[This] biography charts Glaspell’s fascinating progression from a well-mannered but freethinking girl in Davenport, Iowa, to an early feminist novelist, to an expatriate in Greece, then back to America, where she won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1931.” — Utne Reader

“Ozieblo . . . successfully uses Glaspell’s plays and the biographies of her friends and contemporaries to reconstruct the life of a gifted woman.” — Booklist

“[With] exhaustive research and generous use of quotes from interviews and private correspondence, this is an important addition to the literature, presenting as it does a Pulitzer-Prize-winning, highly influential character in the history of American theater who has often been overlooked.” — Library Journal

“Ozieblo weaves a fascinating tale of the life and works of Glaspell, who, with her protégé, Eugene O'Neill, brought international status to American drama.” — Kimball King, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

“A rich, engrossing biography. Susan Glaspell’s work reflected the problems of female artists on the verge of modern independence. Should fascinate anyone interested in the arts and the women’s movement.” — Joanne Woodward
