Sisterhood in A Jury Of Her Peers
Write why these two women (Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters) in short story A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Galspell, try to protect Minnie Wright from being convicted of murder even though the evidence points towards her guilt.
Brief Introduction that I started::
The north wind is blowing in Dickson County on this cold March morning in Susan Glaspell?s short story ?A Jury of Her Peers?. In story, the murder brings together a group of men and women, with two separate agendas. Men are persistent in finding evidence to ensure a conviction of Minnie Foster Wright, wife of the victim, John Wright. However, women, wives of two of the men, try to protect Mrs. Wright from being convicted of murder, even though the evidence points towards her guilt. This brings up the question, why women trying to protect Minnie Foster Wright even though Mrs. Wright is a murderer? The reason is same gender and same role in house create a sisterhood. In the early 1900s the role of men and women were still divided. Men were charging of working the land and being breadwinner and women remained in the home, cooking, cleaning and sewing. Women who were farmer wives were isolated as their work take up most of their day. There was no time for socializing and having for tea. This shared oppression of women helped women to sympathize with each other and clearly understand each other?s challenge and create sisterhood
