Bobbie Ann Mason is an outstanding contemporary American writer of the New Southern tradition. In 1983, she won the Hemingway Foundation Award for her short story collection Shiloh and Other Stories. The short story “Shiloh” discusses the change in social relationships between men and women. In her work, Mason pays particular attention to how social and environmental changes affect people’s social roles and gender attitudes. This paper explores the crisis of gender displacement in “Shiloh” from the perspective of identity, thereby reflecting on gender relations as a whole.
