Book excerpt: After two decades of living in America, Guy Blaise is struck by the differences between the French and Americans approach to relationships, marriage, and chivalry.What makes French women so outspoken about receiving respect and equal rights in a country known for love and romance? And what keeps American women from demanding the same? In a collection of essays and letters, Guy, in coming from a long family line of strong women, presents his observations of cultural norms and attitudes that highlight the differences between French and American women. By exposing the American "man-code", giving advice to newlyweds, debunking stereotypes about Frenchmen, and sharing words of wisdom from French proverbs, Guy suggests that American women learn from their French sisters to strengthen their fight for equality.
