the women’s identity came solely from the relations to men, instead of from the individual qualities as females. When Minnie murdered her husband it was the ultimate rejection of her husbands imposed identity and state of being. Aside from Minnie Wright the women of the play had no first names.

He says this in response to the fact that Mrs. Wright seems to be more worried about her preserves bursting than she is about the fact that she's being held for murder. After this statement the men go on about how the women never worry about important things, which is ironic because the evidence…
