First sentence: A portrait of Susan Glaspell painted by William L'Engle captures her determination, but by depicting her looking down, not meeting the observer's gaze, the artist represented the deference that was impressed on her as she was growing up in a highly religious impoverished family in a midwestern town where the literary success to which she aspired belonged to the social elite.
