Male Dominated Society Male And Female

Hale And Mrs Common Bond
1,001 wordsDiscovering Mrs. Wright The play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, is an examination of the different levels of early 1900 s mid-western farming society's attitudes towards women and equality. The obvious theme in this story is men discounting womens intelligence and their ability to play a mans role, as detectives, in the story. A less apparent theme is the empathy the women in the plot find for each other. Looking at the play from this perspective we see a distinct set of characters, a plot, and a f...

Twentieth Century American Women

Andro Centric Female Sexuality

As the question rightly states, it is feminists im particular that oppose the division but this view has influenced many others to think in such a way about the public and private.
