Washington D.C., 1919: a young Italian strikes a blow for equality as a single mother and immigrant in the employ of the US Postal Service. Victor Emmanuel, a tortoiseshell left behind by a foreign official, was adopted by the city post office as a staff mouser, only to surprise her employer with the value-added gift of four kittens and a fast rethink on gender.
