Description

支撐起婚姻的,正是對它的不忠!

我喜歡當情婦。身為情婦,我付出,也得到所有我想要的愛與性,但是卻沒有責任要盡。

──美國情婦  寶拉.伯明罕

情婦,是被包養的女人?

等待成為人妻的女子?

還是,女性解放獨立自主?

她被人看作「受包養的女人」,她是「情婦」以及「第三者」,現在則被媒體稱為「小三」。她出現在文學小說裡,也出現在報章媒體的八卦報導中,她更是你我身邊、有血有肉的真實人物。然而,她究竟是誰?龐畢度夫人、瑪麗蓮夢露、慈禧太后、簡愛,還有卡蜜拉與呂文斯基,有何共通之處?為何女性會成為情婦?讓自己的戀情成為必須保守的祕密,這樣的人生是什麼模樣?情婦是否只是個等待成為妻子的女人?情婦如何定義了父權社會,又成為女性解放、獨立自主的意涵?在不同的歷史時期與不同的社會文化下,這些被稱作「情婦」的女人又有什麼不同的命運?

橫跨四千年、七十位情婦的故事╱一幅最詳盡的世界名人風流情史

一份最具八卦色彩的社會研究報告╱一本專為情婦翻案的歷史鉅著

在《情婦史》裡,作者精闢闡釋了歷史中最惡名昭彰、也最富吸引力的女性,同時也挑戰了不合人性的法規制度與虛偽不堪的道德傳統。對於這些或因緣際會、或遭受脅迫,又或是出於自願而擔任這個複雜角色的女性們,本書勾勒出她們詳盡的輪廓──從納粹德國、革命中的古巴,到六○年代黑幫與政客情婦的故事。本書帶來各式各樣關於情慾的歷史,為受歷史壓迫而名不見經傳的情婦著傳立說,也為不同社會底下的情婦文化帶來獨到的見解與批評。作者試圖探討,在各個時代與各式各樣的文化當中,情婦究竟是什麼?情婦與其情人感情關係的本質,如何反映女性在社會中的地位與角色?情婦如何影響婚姻制度?

作者書寫筆調輕鬆愉快,以閒話家常的語氣說故事,

這本書與其說是歷史不如說是情婦選集,讓長久處在陰影下的這些女人走入陽光。
