    The short one-act play Trifles by Susan Glaspell‚ was years ahead of its time. Its time was 1916 but the subject matter is timeless.

This play has many strengths and few weaknesses‚ but helps to provide a very accurate portrait of early American women and the issues they dealt with in everyday comings and

First‚ gender differences is important because women were treated differently in the household and their opinions weren’t taken seriously many times by men. Men thought that women were concerned with nothing but trivial things like cooking‚ cleaning‚ gossiping. But women’s intelligence was underestimated by men‚ so when they had "intelligent" thoughts or expressed their opinions
