Why They Stay explores the reasoning and determination of wives who stay with their politician-husbands after they cheat. Hillary Clinton couldn't have known in 1998 how her husband's high-profile philandering would play out. Would he be rehabilitated in the general public eye? She needed the gamble. Acquired she left the marriage, today she might be the spurned wife of any retired politician rather than the first American woman to perform for leader on a significant party ticket. Looking back on the path chosen by the nine political wives profiled in this reserve, we have the evidence to see a style as old as the dynastic maneuverings of England's medieval queens. The ladies hitched to the "royalty" in our times, politicians, make similar frigid calculations to be able to hold onto their "thrones" and their family's history-making potential. After covering politicians for many years, acclaimed columnist Anne Michaud turned her gaze to the women behind the cheating men. Drawing from multiple resources that course the Roosevelts' marriage to the newer scandal including Hillary Clinton's closest aide Huma Abedin (wife of sexter Anthony Weiner), Why They Stay: Gender Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Nine Politics Wives argues that whenever it involves the "power behind the throne", women in the limelight ponder the risks and rewards. They stay loyal to their men, because of intricate, often unconscious makes. From mapping a path to capacity to laudable notions of keeping the family jointly, Michaud examines the exclusively challenging Faustian discounts that political wives grapple with, even as the public limelight illuminates their every move.
