In Trifles, the women do not destroy evidence by burning the quilt. Instead, they find evidence that the men overlook, which ultimately leads to the discovery of the motive for the murder. The women discover a dead bird wrapped in a piece of silk in Mrs. Wright's sewing box, which suggests that she was abused by her husband and that this may have been the reason for her killing him. The women hide the evidence of the bird from the men, which can be interpreted as an act of solidarity with Mrs. Wright and a rejection of the men's dismissal of the women's perspectives.
