Quote #10

COUNTY ATTORNEY: No, Peters, it's all perfectly clear except a reason for doing it. But you know juries when it comes to women. (141)

Here's an example of society's bias against women actually helping Mrs. Wright out. Most people assume that women are these puny little creatures that don't have a violent bone in their bodies. This actually makes the Attorney's job even harder. He has fight the idea that a woman isn't tough or violent enough to kill her husband. Way to break those stereotypes, Mrs. Wright.
