This brilliant satire of the women's rights movement in America is the story of the ravishing inspirational speaker Verena Tarrant and the bitter struggle between two distant cousins who seek to control her.

Or will Basil Ransom, a conservative southern lawyer, steal Verena's heart and remove her from the limelight?
