The Company Wife. Yvonne Roberts traces the evolution of the phenomenon of the company wife over the past few decades, and talks to three women.
Jenilyn McConnell , in her 50s, has moved home eight times and currently lives in Norway where her husband heads a division of an American oil company. Sue Carr, in her 40s, has recently given up her traditional role. While her husband runs a department store chain in Spain, she pursues a different life in London. Amanda Slayton, in her
30s, is the new breed of company wife. How do these women feel about their role?
