Abbie fights for a more democratic system. 15 Families control the government and are Ranked. Everyone else is unranked and considered dirt, unworthy. The Ranked make all the decision, but the unranked are expected to follow orders, contribute, etc. Roman happens to be the head of the Family in charge of everything.
Even though this is futuristic and people live on various different planets, women are still "only" there to be wives/mothers and mistresses (in the Ranked world). Women are not in places of power.
Of course Abbie and Roman fall in love, but can't be together because of her & his status. What good is power if you can't be with who you want? Anyway, this furthered the story-line from book 1 (with the Traitors/Imperialists). Abbie's brother's (Daniel) story is next.
