26. Does your book pass the Bechdel Test?

At this point I can’t say for sure, since the book is not finished yet. It has a significant female cast, after all, even if half of them appear in a traditional role of a teacher (but then, it’s about sports, which assumes the existence of coaches).

Frankly, I don’t believe in using Bechdel test as a way to differentiate between the better and the lesser. It was meant to highlight a problem, not put a label on a work of fiction.

@SeventhMagpie Absolutely. It's not a good measure of the quality of a story or the story's characters.
