Lauren Rosewarne came in to Wax Lyrical about her latest book, "Cheating On The Sisterhood: Infidelity & Feminism". Speaking from her experiences as a feminist and "the other woman", Lauren discussed the complexities of reconceptualising her role in a 3-way affair and the frustrations of feeling disempowered by a man who played the two women off each other. Her book will be launched this evening:
