In Susan Glaspell's one-act play, Trifles, what does Glaspell show us about the position of women in this early twentieth century community?

It shows us that there was no position for women to speak
their minds, give their opinions, nor express their worries because they are seen and
not heard. They also always followed their husbands around. This was a way of telling us
that women were to be shadows of their husbands, and not leaders in any way. Minnie,
herself, was judged entirely on the basis on how unkempt her home looked, how her
kitchen was not well-equipped, and how badly everything was taken care of. Had she been
in a different situation, certainly she would have had a cheerful, clean, and
happy-looking home, but the men in the story dismissed everything that was clearly in
front of them as trifles, and the conversation of the woman as
nonsensical.
