About This Book

A humorous series of scenes and club meetings in which a circle of socially minded women form a private salon to debate women's political participation, social customs, and contemporary movements. Through lively conversations and domestic situations they test ideas about suffrage, legislation, political power, the new woman, currency and even spiritualism, exposing contradictions in both feminist arguments and male responses. Each chapter stages a different meeting or inquiry, blending satire, social observation, and character sketches to examine how personal relationships and public ambitions intersect for women seeking influence. Light comedic detail punctuates arguments and reveals changing attitudes toward public life.
