Show Notes

This week’s story is “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell. Glaspell co-founded the first modern American theater company, the Provincetown Players, and was a Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, actress, novelist, and journalist. Though her theater company was a critical success, it didn’t earn enough to pay the bills and Glaspell continued to write and sell her short stories to make ends meet. “A Jury of Her Peers” was a short story version of her famous play, “Trifles”. Glaspell won the Pulitzer Prize for her play, “Alison’s House”.
I hope you enjoy “A Jury of Her Peers”
