James's books are so slow and boring...until about 2/3 the way through when there's some immense conflict. I lean conservative myself, but lived a liberated life (think Dr Prance) yet felt sympathy for poor Olive, who must lose one more "soldier" to the Enemy. How hard this must have been for Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B Anthony, and Lucy Stone. I would have been too soft to live as they did, but ultimately lived in the world they made.
