"Miss Civilization: A Comedy in One Act" is a chic one-act play by the famous American writer Richard Harding Davis. In this comedy, poignant irony intertwines with bold humor, revealing the multi-layered characters and nuances of their relationships. The action takes place against the background of serious circumstances, but it is precisely in this genre that various aspects of society, psychology and everyday life are mixed. "Miss Civilization" is an excellent example of American literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which remains relevant and interesting to this day.
