A Jury Of Her Peers

A Jury of Her Peers is a short story written by Susan Glaspell, first published in 1917. The story is set in the early 1900s in a rural farmhouse in the American Midwest. The plot revolves around a murder investigation of John Wright, who has been found strangled in his bed. The story follows the investigation conducted by the sheriff and his team, but it is the women who are the real investigators. The story highlights the gender roles and the limitations placed on women during that time. The women, who are the wives of the men conducting the investigation, are left behind to gather evidence and clues that ultimately lead to the discovery of the murderer. The story explores the themes of justice, truth, and the power dynamics between men and women. A Jury of Her Peers is a thought-provoking and insightful commentary on the social and cultural norms of the time.Susan Keating Glaspell (July 1, 1876 ������� July 27, 1948) was an American dramatist, theatrical producer, theatre owner/operator, and novelist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
