What would you do if you uncovered evidence that a woman who suffered years of abuse by her husband killed him? Would you turn it in? What would you do to save the reputation of a woman caught in a scandalous situation -- anything? Susan Glaspell's feminist classic one-act plays, the drama TRIFLES (1916) and the comedy WOMAN’S HONOR (1918), remain timely as they raise these questions in their exploration of the bonds between women and the confined societal roles they share in early 20th century America. A Pulitzer Prize winner and co-founder of the Provincetown Playhouse, Glaspell is well known in academic circles, and TRIFLES, often considered a perfect play, is one of the most anthologized plays by an American playwright.
