Trifles Vs. A Jury of Her Peers A Jury of Her Peers and Trifles by Susan Glaspell are very similar stories. The stories are about the marginalization of women in society.

In the stories‚ they are treated like they do not mean anything in the workforce and are only there to serve the world and the men in
