She confronts Maxwell Dean, the man who published the Bachelors Directory, and is horrified to find he is far more attractive than his actions have led her to expect. However, Diana is unmoved by Maxs explanation that he authored the list to assist younger sons like himself who cannot afford to marry unless its to a woman of means.She gathers the ladies in the directory together to inform them of its existence, so they may circumvent fortune hunters efforts to trick them into marriage. Though outraged, the women decide to embrace their unique position of power and reverse the usual gender roles by making the men dance to their tune. And togetherthe ladies rewrite the rules.
