Reviews

"I rate Why They Stay by Anne Michaud 4 out of 4 stars because I liked everything about it. It provides a credible theory of common traits among women who stay married to powerful politicians after their affairs and sexual kinks become public. It proves that not all marriages are about love. Some unions are about power and legacy. I highly recommend this book to fans of women's history and politics." -Yolimari for OnlineBookClub.org

"In Why They Stay, Anne Michaud debunks the reductive stereotype of disgraced political wives with depth and humanity. Grounding her profiles of these eight women in history, gender studies and relationship psychology, Michaud also lays bare the patriarchal tightrope each were forced to navigate and presents a fascinating case study on what it really means to be a political power couple. Informative, insightful and accessible, Why They Stay is essential reading for fans of [the TV show] "Scandal," First Lady enthusiasts and feminist media critics alike." -Caroline Ervin and Cristen Conger, Co-authors of Unladylike
