Sample introduction from 

“A Journey of Sisterhood” by Stephanie Ortega

Trifles begins at the start of a murder investigation. Mrs. Wright has allegedly murdered her harsh husband, John Wright:; and the Sheriff and his wife, Mrs. Peters; the County Attorney; and the neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Hale, all come to the Wright house to investigate. Throughout the entire play the women are always on stage, whereas the men enter and exit, so the women are the play’s focus. But Glaspell’s Trifles is a feminist play not only because of that, but also because of how it shows two or even three very different women coming together in sisterhood.
