Raven Following is a Sioux who abandons his Indian life after being saved by Tess Meredith and her father, Dr. Meredith. He morphed into Matt Davis, a detective in Chicago. He has never dealt with his feelings of being a lesser-person because he is an Indian.
Dr. Meredith dies, after dedicating his life to serving the Indians of Montana, and his daughter, Tess, goes to Chicago to be near Matt Davis and to find a job as a nurse. She got her training from her father and the years she spent with the Indians.
Tess is also a suffragette, working to get the vote for women and a more equitable position in society for women. In Chicago, she meets other women of a like mind and becomes more active in the movement.
I thought this book had subplots all over the place: a murder mystery, the suffragette movement, men considering their wives to be their property and subject to the men's whims, Raven/Matt coping with inferior feelings about his heritage, etc. And yet, all of these problems seemed to be resolved by page 311. Bosh. I really didn't buy Matt resolving his feelings in the few pages remaining of the story. 3.5 stars
