Susan Glaspell (1882—1948), an American novelist and playwright, was one of the cofounders of the Provincetown Players, an influential theatrical company. With her husband, George Cram Cook, she collaborated on a number of plays, including her one-act satire of Freudian psychoanalysis, Suppressed Desires, published in 1916. In the same year Glaspell produced another fine one-act play, Trifles, which has continued to be her most frequently performed play.
