Ms. Maggio has won numerous book awards.
femme fatale avoid; there is no parallel for a man, and this term perpetuates the myth of woman as Eve/temptress/siren. One of the most valuable rules for good writing or speaking is "show, don't tell." Instead of telling that someone is a "femme fatale," show how that person affects others.
