Mistresses today 26 Dec 2007
What does it mean to be a modern day mistress?

Is there any such thing as a 'mistress' today? Does our conception of extra-marital affairs vary across cultures and countries? And what effect does the relationship have on the mistress and her lover’s family? Susanna Abse is Director of the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, Pamela Druckerman is author of Lust in Translation: The Rules of Infidelity from Tokyo to Tennessee and Sophie Parkin is a novelist and has been, in the past, a mistress.
