Read the ebook or listen to the audiobook

Written early in the feminist movement, Trifles is a one-act play that explores how women act in public versus how they are in private. Loosely based on the real-life story of the murder of John Hossack and the suspicion that fell on his wife as the possible murderer, Glaspell's play compares the official investigation of the murder by the men in charge with the unofficial investigation conducted by their wives. The wives find evidence and insight into the mind of the accused murderer in ways completely ignored by their husbands and as a result are able to discover the truth. In 1917, Glaspell revisited the murder investigation and published an adaption of Trifles as the short story A Jury of Her Peers.

Read the ebook on Hoopla or listen to performances on Youtube.

Read 50 pages or listen to the audiobook (1 hour).
