That is, until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Suddenly her vast qualifications mean squat because inexperienced Len\u2014who is tall, handsome, and male\u2014just seems more like a leader.<br \/>\nWhen Eliza\u2019s frustration spills out in a viral essay, she finds herself inspiring a feminist movement she never meant to start, caught between those who believe she\u2019s a gender equality champion and others who think she\u2019s simply crying misogyny.<br \/>\nAmid this growing tension, the school asks Eliza and Len to work side by side to demonstrate civility. But as they get to know one another, Eliza feels increasingly trapped by a horrifying realization\u2014she just might be falling for the face of the patriarchy himself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2022-02-25T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Friday!
