| Summary |
"Her Infinite Variety" by Brand Whitlock is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces readers to Amelia and Vernon, a couple navigating the complexities of love and political ambition in a society where women are fighting for their rights, particularly the right to vote. The story appears to explore themes of societal expectations, personal conflict, and the evolving role of women in politics, providing a glimpse into their emotional struggles and aspirations. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a tense interaction between Vernon and Amelia as they confront the implications of his commitments in the Senate and her disappointment over his unexpected departure. Amelia is excited about a planned dinner but feels sidelined when Vernon reveals he must return to Springfield for a conference. The reader begins to sense the budding complexities in their relationship, including Amelia's skepticism toward politics, Vernon’s political ambitions, and the arrival of Maria Burley Greene, a lawyer championing women's suffrage. This initial chapter hints at the conflict that will arise from Vernon’s political aspirations and the dynamics of his relationship with both Amelia and Maria as they contend with societal change.
