Dictionary of Literary Biography on Susan Glaspell (page 2)

She began submitting her stories to magazines while still a college student. In 1912, only three years after the publication of her first novel (The Glory of the Conquered), she was successful enough to warrant the publication of Lifted Masks, a collection of short stories. Glaspell made the difficult transition from sentimental novelist to experimental playwright entirely through her work with the Provincetown Players. In founding this art theatre Glaspell and her husband, George Cram Cook, became pioneers in New York's little theatre movement and, largely because of them, the Provincetown Players remained firm in their commitment to the presentation of new American drama. In addition to Glaspell, their authors included Neith Boyce, Paul Green, Djuna Barnes, Edna Ferber, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and, most notably, Eugene O'Neill.

The most meaningful influence on her life was the charismatic and enigmatic personality of George Cram Cook. They were introduced at the Monist Society in Davenport, Iowa, a gathering place for the bohemian element, those who shunned traditional religious, moral, and political concepts.
