I believe that "A Jury of Her Peers"� is the interpretive piece of literature while "A Municipal Report"� is the escape literature.

As of today‚ women have many rights and tend to have longer happier marriages. Even so this wasn’t always the case. Women were once not able to do something as simple as voting. They were given positions of lesser status in their personal‚ and professional lives.
