The woman witnesses the murder of a man and then passes out for a long time before waking up and reporting the crime to the police. We notice that this woman is quite similar to the one who was trampled by Hyde, she is rather weak and defenseless. They rely on men to run the business and don't really contribute much to solving the crimes that have occurred. The last woman we meet was a servant of Jekyll. She is huddled in a corner with the others and shown scared and defenseless in the face of the danger in the house. Then he starts crying and jeopardizes the entire mission. Since she was the only woman in the room at that moment and the only one crying, we see that the author portrays this woman as weak and unable to control her emotions. Let the author show us once again that women are weak and defenseless and that men must take care of them
