Summary "Lifted Masks" by Susan Glaspell is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of identity, gender roles, and societal expectations, often intertwining the personal lives of its characters with broader social issues. Through its varied narratives, Glaspell invites readers to question the facades that individuals maintain in society and the reasons behind such pretenses. At the start of "Lifted Masks," the story "One of Those Impossible Americans" introduces us to Virginia, a young American woman in Paris wrestling with her cultural identity while navigating interactions with both locals and fellow countrymen. Her encounter with a burly American man, William P. Johnson, unveils a delicate balance of pride and embarrassment as Virginia attempts to maintain her composure amidst cultural stereotypes. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of themes such as national pride and personal connections, as Virginia finds herself both amused by and sympathetic toward William's struggles with shopping in a foreign land. This initial exchange hints at their evolving relationship and underscores the complexity of human connections across cultural divides. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
