"She holds up a mirror to French women that they find very agreeable: to knock men dead while being a woman of power. She's proof that you don't have to abandon your femininity to make it." No kidding. At a meeting in Paris earlier this year, a man told Royal she looked good. "You're not too bad yourself," she retorted. Her arsenal includes the occasional girlish giggle, a disarming smile and a sartorial penchant for pure white. To her opponents...
