Cheating on the Sisterhood: Infidelity and Feminism is a feminist analysis of the imbroglio of sexual politics, brute sociobiology, and pop-mediated passion that is conjured up when a married man cheats on his wife with a younger, single woman. Drawing frankly on her own experience as the "other woman, " Lauren Rosewarne scrutinizes the alternate readings of the politics of cheating in terms of feminism's program of gender equality. Arguing that contemporary feminism does not automatically endorse or reject any particular choices, she shows what happens when all three parties to the classic triangle happen to be feminists, each trotting out a different set of feminist arguments to justify, vilify, and rationalize his or her actions. Is the "other woman, " this book asks, just a tool of the cheating man's assertion of gender dominance over both his mate and his mistress-and a willy-nilly a traitor to the sisterhood? 606 $aAdultery 606 $aFeminism 615 0$aAdultery. 615 0$aFeminism. 676 $a306.73/6 700 $aRosewarne$b Lauren$01112670 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958526403321 996 $aCheating on the sisterhood$94356461 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
