Daisy Dobbin is an undercover feminist out to study sexual harassment in business offices, particularly that of Metropole magazine. To research it, of course, she must attract it - and thereby hangs the tale. The irony of her falling in love with the boss is serendipity enough without a resulting down-to-the-wire rivalry with a sister conspirator, her old girlhood chum Effie Sniffen. This the war between men and women becomes thematically interlocked with the competition among women for men, a double motif effected with all the comic subtlety we have come to expect from De Vries.
