About Research essay Trifles

So I'm doing a research essay on the play Trifles. I've already found info on the big feminism movements of the 19th and 20th century. I want to contrast this with what men were like in the 19th and early 20th century. I guess you could call it gender roles. But I can't find anything related to mens history in that time period, or anything of importance.

Thanks for any help

Have you tried the obvious, i.e. Googling "gender roles in 19th and early 20th century?" And have you tried doing this both on the web and in both Google Scholar and Google Books? I find it difficult to believe that nothing has been written on the subject.

Here is an article you might be interested in looking at. It will help you to know how to approach your essay, since it covers the same topic.
