When we first meet Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) in Season 1 she’s just another “girl”** in the office secretarial pool at Sterling Cooper, a fictional Madison Avenue advertising agency set in the early 60’s. After Don Draper (Jon Hamm) fires yet another secretary, Office Manager Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks) moves Peggy into the seat outside Don’s door. Don tells Peggy how he wants her to the job after Peggy’s rocky start.
By the end of season 1 Peggy has been promoted to copywriter. Instead of having an office like the other writers her desk is right beside the new fangled Xerox machine where she has to endure a parade of people all day long. Of course all of them feel like they need to talk to her.
Peggy is not part of the boy’s club the rest of the writers & account managers enjoy. After she repeatedly finds them having impromptu meetings about projects she’s supposed to be a part of, as well as after hours “meetings” with clients (most often at the local gentleman’s club) she gets a little, well, ballsy. She finds out about the evening’s plans for an out of town client & surprises everyone by showing up looking like none of the boys had seen her before and has a good time.
