Faith Marshall asked this question about The Ladies Rewrite the Rules:

I consider myself a feminist, but a lot of "feminist" entertainment and movies nowadays seem to be screaming, "Men are fools. Watch women rule, because they know everything and never fail!" Is that one of those types?

There is one noble dimwit, as I'm a huge P.G. Wodehouse fan and can't seem to write a book without at least one Bertie Wooster-type, but most of the male characters are heroes, in every sense of the word. This is a traditional romance, with a man and woman getting their HEA. (And some of the "villains" in this novel are women, as I, too, don't believe all women "know everything and never fail.") In fact, most of the reviews gush about the main male character, Maxwell Dean, even more than the main female characters.(less)
