I want a book about a woman who is living in a patriarchal society/community and has developed the skill and cunning to navigate it. She is subtle in her manipulation and the tactics she uses to get what she wants. She isn't immoral and doesn't set out to destroy others, she just uses her looks and charm to her advantage.
I'm not necessarily interested in a story where the MC is mainly in a work environment. I would like a character that is more social and out and about, going to galas, social events, etc. but I am open to anything as long as its a good read
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
