The play
Trifles was written by Susan Glaspell, who is considered to be one
of the first feminist writers in American literature. In the story
there is an ongoing investigation to find out who killed Mr. Wright
and all the evidence is pointing to Mrs. Wright. Two of Mrs.
Wrights neighbors are determined to find out what really happened.
Trifles is a suspenseful story that holds many feminist viewpoints
that collides with justice for women when it comes to
domestic
violence.
The story was published in 1916, and during this time period,
women were not given the same opportunities as men. They were
consistently neglected, ignored, and mistreated in many ways. This
theme is visible in the plot of Trifles. In the story, the women,

Many of these
inequalities come from the work place, for example in 2015, women
made 75 cents for every dollar a man made. There are many reasons
why
genderinequality
still exists in the work place, such as the direct discrimination
of women, as some women are paid less to do the same job as a man.
Even in politics today, there are more males in government.
Although women have made significant strides in the political field
in the last 20 years, only about 22 percent of women make up
government. Also, domestic violence is very much prevalent today
against women, even though in 1993, the UN General assembly passed
the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence on Women, yet 1 in 3
women are abused by their intimate partner. In spite of the fact
that its been an entire century since Trifles was published,
gender inequality is still a top priority today and unless women
begin to be looked at as equals, there will always be major
obstacles for women in society
