A Jury of Her Peers
This whole tale is based of two women who end up solving a crime. The unique part of this is in fact that the women figure out the crime and not the male characters. This is the main theme of the story. This book basically hits on assumption of women and goes out of its way to prove it wrong. The assumptions include things like how women supposedly worry way to much on tariffs of a situation. The one scene that came to mind is when the sheriff takes a shot at the one women by making the claim that women do in fact tend to get over worried about situations. However, the whole point of this book is to prove these type of assumptions wrong, which is eventually they solve the crime and help make a good point that women should be looked out equally.

The very "issue" that the men have with the women (that they worry over trifles) is what solves the case. Society needs a balance between the step-by-step ways of men and the deeper perspective of women. Notice how the men in the story were looking solely for material evidence. The women identified the motive behind the murder by connecting several pieces of evidence that the men deemed irrelevant. This story is a showcase of irony that ends up solving a mysterious murder.
