The Visioning
by Susan Glaspell
"A middle west army post furnishes the set- ting of this story by the author of "The glory of the conquered," and the heroine Katherine Waynworth Jones is a care-free, sunny army girl. Into the boasted exclusiveness of her convention-veneered society there comes by chance a young woman of another world who wakens the dominant womanhood in Katherine thru an appeal for sympathy and help. Then follow the awakening to a sense of real values in life, the discovery of the bungling of things that sends people on the downward track and the vision of a power to push on thru the dead things that seek to smother, to a "possible day when all would understand; when none would wish another ill or work another harm; when war and oppression and greed must cease, not because the laws forbade them, but because men's hearts gave them no place."
