Download or read book Secrets of a Good Mistress written by Iva T. Louise. This book was released on 2011-02-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Secrets of a Good Mistress, I share my insights gained from walking the path of “the other woman”. It gives insights and shines a torch for the millions of women that knowingly or unknowingly have found themselves in this role to illuminate their way. It’s a wake up call that asserts that being a mistress is not ‘settling for second best’ as the mistress does not play ‘second fiddle’ to the wife. Instead, she has her own distinct valuable role to play; outside yet parallel within the dynamic of a marriage. Open to a higher love without ownership. Happiness in sharing without need of possession. The mistress’s platform allows a woman to keep to her no’s, with respect and valuation, where a wife is expected to submit and comply. The mistress role allows women to intentionally live lives of freedom, independence and self actualization without insecure feelings of guilt, sin or shame. Full of wit and deeper insights of our very human nature - Secrets of a Good Mistress goes to the core, as none before asserting the essential truth that indeed, One Woman is Not Enough. Though this path is not for all. Get this book: Learn more. Live more. Love more. Visit MistressJoys.com for more about the Mistress Network.

Book Synopsis The Creation of the French Royal Mistress by : Tracy Adams
Download or read book The Creation of the French Royal Mistress written by Tracy Adams. This book was released on 2020-03-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kings throughout medieval and early modern Europe had extraconjugal sexual partners. Only in France, however, did the royal mistress become a quasi-institutionalized political position. This study explores the emergence and development of the position of French royal mistress through detailed portraits of nine of its most significant incumbents: Agnès Sorel, Anne de Pisseleu d’Heilly, Diane de Poitiers, Gabrielle d’Estrées, Françoise Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, Françoise Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Françoise d’Aubigné, Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, and Jeanne Bécu. Beginning in the fifteenth century, key structures converged to create a space at court for the royal mistress. The first was an idea of gender already in place: that while women were legally inferior to men, they were men’s equals in competence. Because of their legal subordinacy, queens were considered to be the safest regents for their husbands, and, subsequently, the royal mistress was the surest counterpoint to the royal favorite. Second, the Renaissance was a period during which people began to experience space as theatrical. This shift to a theatrical world opened up new ways of imagining political guile, which came to be positively associated with the royal mistress. Still, the role had to be activated by an intelligent, charismatic woman associated with a king who sought women as advisors. The fascinating particulars of each case are covered in the chapters of this book. Thoroughly researched and compellingly narrated, this important study explains why the tradition of a politically powerful royal mistress materialized at the French court, but nowhere else in Europe. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the French monarchy, women and royalty, and gender studies.
