Verena is the daughter of a dubious faith healer, who has had her on tour to display her strange gift of oratory on public platforms. Olive wants to mold and use this gift for the feminist cause. But Verena is also loved by Basil Ransom, an impecunious young lawyer from Mississippi with views strenuously opposed to the Boston feminists but a will as strong as any of them. The contest is met between Basil and Olive and the prize is Verena, who loves both of them and must steel herself for a passionate choice. 650 $a Adaptations. 650 $a Comedies. 650 $a DVD. 650 $a Features. 650 $a Historical re-creations. 650 $a Sociological films and programs. 653 $a 4 3/4 in. 700 $a LC Purchase Collection (Library of Congress)--DLC 939 $a 5486188 941 $a 1 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=864FF8582B0A11DE8AF32708A8D7520AInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
