The narrative is presented through letters, primarily written by the character Mame, a manicurist who finds herself in a unique and politically charged position as she becomes involved with the secretary to a powerful political figure often referred to as the Spokesman. The book explores themes of class, society, and the often comical intersection between the ordinary lives of working-class individuals and the grandiose world of politics. At the start of the story, Mame shares her excitement about being chosen to star in a political event, revealing her newfound connection to the political elite through Mr. Edgerton, the Spokesman’s secretary. Mame's letters are filled with wit and keen observations of the absurdities within the political world, as she navigates her interactions with various characters, including the Spokesman himself, who struggles with his roles and public perception. The opening sets the stage for Mame's journey as she learns about the inner workings of political influence and the sometimes ridiculous realities of high society, all while maintaining her unique, down-to-earth perspective as a member of the "plain people."
