| Summary | "An American Suffragette" by Isaac N. Stevens is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Dr. John Earl, a returning hero from India, as he navigates the complex social landscape of New York City intertwined with the burgeoning suffrage movement. Through his encounters with influential women, particularly the captivating Silvia Holland, the narrative explores themes of love, societal change, and the push for women's rights, capturing the spirit of the suffragette movement. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Dr. John Earl as he arrives back in New York City, greeted by family and the press, eager to learn about his acclaimed medical achievements. As he reunites with his fiancée Leonora Kimball, we learn of his admiration for Silvia Holland, a prominent figure at a suffrage parade he witnesses. This parade serves as a backdrop for Earl's growing interest in the suffrage movement and its key players, specifically focusing on Silvia, whose passionate advocacy pushes him to reconsider his views on women's rights. Earl’s interactions reveal a world shifting towards equality and challenge his traditional beliefs, setting the stage for conflicts between personal desires and societal expectations that unfold throughout the narrative.
