The narrative centers around the character of Gertrude Van Deusen, a strong and determined woman who becomes a candidate for mayor within her community amidst a backdrop of political intrigue and societal expectations. The book addresses themes of gender roles, women’s suffrage, and the struggle for social reform, reflecting the emerging voice of women in public life during this progressive era.  The opening of the novel introduces a group of women engaged in a luncheon where they discuss the sorry state of their city's politics, particularly the upcoming mayoral election. Mrs. Bateman proposes that they need a woman candidate to combat the corruption in their city and suggest Gertrude as the perfect candidate. Initially met with disbelief and concern, Gertrude ultimately decides to accept the challenge despite the significant societal barriers and the opposition from some men in the political arena. The discussion among the women is lively and passionate, highlighting their desire for change and the changing dynamics of gender roles in society. The stage is set for a compelling exploration of activism, politics, and the challenges faced by those who dare to defy conventional expectations.
