Following successful productions of the play, Glaspell became the \"mother of American drama.\" Her short story version of \u003ci\u003eTrifles\u003c\/i\u003e, \"A Jury of Her Peers,\" reached an unprecedented one million readers in 1917. The play and the story have since been taught in classrooms across America and \u003ci\u003eTrifles\u003c\/i\u003e is regularly revived on stages around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This collection of fresh essays celebrates the centennial of \u003ci\u003eTrifles\u003c\/i\u003e and \"A Jury of Her Peers,\" with departures from established Glaspell scholarship.
