Product Description
Mistresses is a collection of highly entertaining mini-biographies of eight women who used their sexuality to procure power and, in some cases, great wealth. It is a fascinating exploration of opportunism, courage and ambition in a world where men held all the cards. As the story of each mistress is described, so the period in which they lived and loved is brought vividly to life. Includes: Lady Castlemaine, Emma Hamilton, Lola Montez, George Sand, Madame de Montespan, Marion Davies, Eva Braun, La Belle Otero.
