What kind of women were those who create discord in marital relations, who are "lovers" that are considered to be ethically taboo at present, and who were once called "mistresses"? In the field of feminism, the author questioned the fact that "mistresses" and "mistresses" have not been the subject of discussion. Through the analysis of articles in the Yomiuri Shimbun and Shukan Bunshun related to "mistresses" and "mistresses" from the Meiji period to the 2010 s, the author traces the transition of social image that has been formed in each period. He takes up the following topics : Modern male mistresses described in novels by Ogai Mori and Koyo OZAKI ; intellectual mistresses that were published in newspapers during the Taisho period, such as Takeo Arishima and Akiko Hatano ; postwar mistresses who accomplished the "moral revolution" with Osamu Dazai's "The Declining Sun" ; love banks that became popular among women who want a "delicious life" ; mistresses as "right-hand men" of politicians and business partners of high-class men ; and mistresses that are sexually consumed in scandals involving politicians since the 2000 s. He examines in detail the images of "mistresses" and "mistresses" that appear in modern Japan and their evaluation. Since the Meiji period when the monogamy system was established, women who were sometimes praised by modern intellectuals as "pure lovers" and sometimes excluded as "shameful immoral beings".
