Description

As long as there is marriage, there will also be the Mistress. Mythology is rich with mistresses, both divine and mortal, who have played their roles cunningly or destructively. Famous mistresses have not only graced literature but have written it. Courtesans have been a feature of royal courts throughout history. Victoria Griffin, herself a mistress, explores the mistresses in history and culture, from Camille Claudel to Monica Lewinsky, from Madame de Pompadour to Simone de Beauvoir. The Mistress is a subject as rich and diverse as history itself, alive with memorable characters. (Note: The description has been edited for accuracy and clarity.)
