Forest being destroyed :))
The title of the story is : “A jury of her Peers”, publicized in 1917. The title is therefore indicating that the accused Minnie Wright had a jury of women who set her free. Since this could not happen in reality at that time, it was the wish of the author give an outcry against male overpowering women, sexism in the household and workplace and the failure of the government to protect women against violence. The author also wants to show the difference in judging and investigating criminal cases by men versus women. Men lay emphasis on different things than women.
