Summary "The Mating Impulse" by Edwin Balmer is a novel written during the early 20th century, likely reflecting the social climate surrounding women's rights and the suffrage movement. The book centers on the dramatic and often comedic escapades of Roberta Leigh, an American girl who becomes an ardent suffragist in Britain, engaging in militant protests that lead her into precarious situations. The author cleverly intertwines themes of love, rebellion, and the quest for gender equality within a captivating narrative. The story follows Andy Farnham, an American man in search of Roberta after hearing of her daring exploits in her fight for women's suffrage. His journey through the English countryside leads him to Stoketon, where he discovers Roberta's involvement in a destructive protest that ignites controversy. After narrowly avoiding arrest, the two devise a plan to escape to America aboard a ship while Roberta grapples with the implications of her actions. As they navigate their relationship amidst chaos, they come to recognize their feelings for each other, culminating in a dramatic conclusion that explores the consequences of passion and activism in a time of social upheaval.
