The Joke

Based on the life of Susanna Madora Salter. Narrated by Elle Fanning. Argonia, Kansas, 1887. Susanna Salter is baking bread when there’s a knock at the door. She learns she’s been nominated for the mayoral elections as a prank by some of the men of the town. After all, what could be funnier than the notion of a female leader? Nobody expected that serious, reserved Susanna would accept the nomination, let alone that she would be elected the first female mayor of the United States. Journalist: Olivia Rutigliano Writer: Maggie Milstein Voice: Elle Fanning Production: Christopher Hooton Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
