요약
이야기는 Basil Ransom이 보스턴에 있는 그의 사촌 Olive를 방문하는 것으로 시작된다. 올리브의 집에서 열린 모임에서 그는 참석자들, 특히 올리브에게 깊은 인상을 주는 즉석 연설을 하는 베레나 타란트(Verena Tarrant)를 만난다. 올리브는 페미니스트 운동의 대변인으로서의 잠재력과 더 깊은 개인적 매력으로 인해 Verena에게 매혹된다.
Olive는 Verena에게 지도와 보호를 제공하고 결국 그녀와 함께 살도록 초대하고, 두 여성이 가까워짐에 따라 올리브는 베레나가 페미니스트 대의에서 길을 잃을까 봐 점점 더 베레나를 보호하고 소유하게 된다.
한편, 전통주의적 견해를 지닌 바질 랜섬은 여성 운동에 회의적이며 베레나에게도 매력을 느낀다. 그의 견해는 올리브의 견해와 충돌하여 베레나의 미래를 두고 이념적 줄다리기를 벌이게 되는데..

Summary
The story begins with Basil Ransom visiting his cousin Olive in Boston. At a meeting held at Olive's house, he meets Verena Tarrant, who gives an impromptu speech that impresses the attendees, especially Olive. Olive is attracted to Verena because of her potential as a spokesperson for the feminist movement and her deeper personal attraction.
Olive offers her guidance and protection to Verena and eventually invites her to live with her, and as the two women grow closer, Olive becomes increasingly concerned that Verena will stray from her feminist cause. Protect and own.
Meanwhile, Basil Ransom, who holds traditionalist views, is skeptical of the women's movement and is also attracted to Verena. His views clash with Olive's, leading to an ideological tug-of-war over Verena's future.
