SYNOPSIS

It seemed as if everyone in Alan Thackeray’s life was a woman. He was a single parent, raising a precocious eight-year-old daughter (Amy), and often had to seek the advice of Betty, a friendly housewife who lived in his apartment building.

His job was that of a feature writer for Women's Life magazine, where his boss was sophisticated, dominant Elaine Holstein, and his co-workers, all extremely attractive, were serious Gretchen, militant feminist Susan, and romantic Andrea. His first assignment there was to write an article called "Sexual Harassment and the Working Woman," a subject for which firsthand research was a little difficult. The only other male around was Women's Life’s harried bookkeeper, Reggie.
