I love the idea that it could be a female author, and of course it could. But in my own experience of social dance, I find that men are the most vocal advocates of ladies learning to lead, and learning to do it well. The motivations I notice most are (1) It takes the pressure off them - they no longer have to look after a needy partner or feel the pressure of a row of mournful eyes and (2) they want to follow and would prefer to follow a woman rather than a man.
