In the spring of 1916, as the workers for woman suffrage were laying plans for another attack on the bastions of male supremacy, the idea for The Sturdy Oak was born. A satiric look at the gender roles of the time, this composite novel was based on the rules of an old parlor game, in which one person begins a narrative, another continues it, and another picks it up. In this case, leading writers of the day - Fannie Hurst, Dorothy Canfield, and Kathleen Norris among them - took up their pens. Much of The Sturdy Oak reflects the New York campaign for suffrage of 1916-17. The story takes place in a small, conservative community in upstate New York. George Remington, a cautious young lawyer running for office, and his new wife, Genevieve, who becomes converted to the suffrage cause, do not fit the picture of the traditional couple: "the sturdy oak" supporting "the clinging vine." Caught up in the swirling political currents of the day, their marriage, his career, their families, their community - the very foundations of their society - are threatened.
