Charismatic speaker Verena Tarrant is at the center of an acrimonious struggle between two distant cousins. Olive Chancellor sees Verena as a potential leader of the suffragettes and jealously attempts to isolate her prot g e from the society of men. The man Olive particularly abhors is cynical Southern lawyer Basil Ransom, who seeks a conventional marriage with Verena. The rivalry between liberal Olive and conservative Basil for Verena's attentions and loyalty forms a compelling tale of politics, feminism, and a nascent lesbian attraction.\u003cbr\u003eSet in the decade following the Civil War, \u003ci\u003eThe Bostonians\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating portrait of its era, particularly in its reflection of women's social roles.
