In Louisa Treger's \;Dragon Lady and Susan Rebecca White's \;We Are All Good People Here\, privileged but unorthodox 20th century women counter the expectations peo ple have for them and get into "trouble" for "good" causes. It's a daily p aradox in our own time as much as it was during the decades of these ficti onal settings--how does a person take meaningful political action in ways that can actually be effective and do not widen our political divide or ot herwise do harm? There are consequences of trying to effect social change when ideology gets in the way. Yeats comes to mind in the reading of these two novels: "The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of pas sionate intensity."
