520    Marian Elliott Adams, an outspoken advocate for sensible 
       undergarments for women, sweeps onto the Chautauqua stage 
       under a brown canvas tent on a sweltering August night in 
       1917, and shocks the gathered town of Emporia with her 
       speech: How can women compete with men in the work place 
       and in life if they are confined by their undergarments? 
       The crowd is further appalled when Marian falls off the 
       stage and sprains her ankle, and is forced to remain among
       them for a week. As the week passes, she throws into 
       turmoil the town's unspoken rules governing social order, 
       women, and Negroes. The recently widowed newspaper editor 
       Deuce Garland, his lapels glittering with fraternal pins, 
       has always been a community booster, his desire to conform
       rooted in a legacy of shame--his great-grandfather married
       a black woman, and the town will never let Deuce forget it,
       especially not his father-in-law, the owner of the 
       newspaper and Deuce's boss. Deuce and his father-in-law 
       are already at odds, since the old man refuses to allow 
       Deuce's stepdaughter, Helen, to go to Chicago to fight for
       women's suffrage. But Marian's arrival shatters Deuce's 
       notions of what is acceptable, versus what is right, and 
       Deuce falls madly in love with the tall activist from New 
       York. During Marian's stay in Emporia, Marian pushes Deuce
       to become a greater, braver, and more dynamic man than he 
       ever imagined was possible. He takes a stand against his 
       father-in-law by helping Helen escape to Chicago; and he 
       publishes an article exposing the county's oldest farm 
       family as the source of a recent typhoid outbreak, risking
       his livelihood and reputation. Marian's journey takes her 
       to the frozen mud of France's Picardy region, just beyond 
       the lines, to help destitute villagers as the Great War 
       rages on. Helen, in Chicago, is hired as a streetcar 
       conductor surrounded by bitter men who resent her taking a
       man's job. Meanwhile, Deuce struggles to make a living and
       find his place in Emporia's wider community after losing 
       the newspaper.
