Carpentier and Barbara Ozieblo cofounder’s of the Susan Glaspell Society.
An interview of the founders of the Susan Glaspell Society discuss topics such as the isolation of women from the American Canon. This interview fits with Glaspell's theme of female isolation at home and symbolizes a general isolation of women from much of the world.

This is seen in Glaspells “Trifles” through the eyes of an oppressed wife. Under the weight of her husbands control, Mrs. Wright suffers a mental collapse and commits murder to escape her husbands control of her life. ]]> 2021-12-02 19:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1925918155 The Difference Women Make on the Battlefield hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1925950206 Discusses the new militia of women “on” the battleground in war. Gayle Tzemach Lemmon is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and writes of a new design in which women are viewed and utilized as a valuable asset during times of war as they offer skills and abilities men do not. Lemmon tells readers how governments are implementing special-ops teams that create an equal male-female partnership. Connecting Lemmon's account of women in battle to Mrs. Wright in battle at home, Lemmon’s story contrasts the traditional ideology in Glaspells “Trifles.” Inspires the question of how the outcome would have been different if Mrs. Wright had access to equal treatment from her husband. ]]> 2021-12-02 19:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1925950206 Silent justice in a different key: Glaspell's "trifles" hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1927889778 A beautiful example of chosen silence as opposed to the forced silence often displayed in patriarchal relations at home. Mrs. Wrights friends resolve to remain silent about their findings in order to protect their friend. Glaspell uses this dramatic irony to highlight how men, who are usually the authoritarian, are generally unaware of what is going on in the lives of them women they hold control over.]]> 2021-12-03 17:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1927889778 Differences Between Men's & Women's Prisons hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1927927606 A video from Study.com outlines the differences between men's and women's prisons. The idea that women's prisons do not require the same level of security is significant to "Trifles." This video implies that women are weaker than men, which we find is not entirely true in Glaspell's play because it is Mrs. Wright who successfully murders her husband. The hidden theme implies that society under estimates women, which Glaspell also proves to be false by using the women to solve the crime. ]]> 2021-12-03 18:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1927927606 The Susan Glaspell Society hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/xynr10088jn6ewf3/wish/1930387738 A photograph of the original performance of "Trifles" in 1916.
