Susan Keating Glaspell, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of the play “Trifles,” was born in Davenport, Iowa in 1876. “Much of Glaspell's writing is strongly feminist, dealing with the roles that women play, or are forced to play, in society and the relationships between men and women.” ("Susan Glaspell," 2012, para. 2) Glaspell’s play, “Trifles,” was originally produced in 1916, and a year later was rewritten as the story, “A Jury of Her Peers.”  The story does not concentrate so much on who committed the crime, but focuses on the mystery of the motive behind it.
