Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author explores the disconnect between many women's feminist values and their handling of infidelity in intimate relationships. Drawing on the gender equality agenda, pop culture representations, and her own experience as the other woman, she argues that infidelity is a political as well as personal matter, not just a heterosexual problem as the 'feminist academy' views it, in presenting an analysis of the participation of the male betrayer, the female betrayed, and the female affair partner.
