a better way of saying my boss's wife
Hi,
I am wondering if there are other formal ways of saying my boss's wife.
Is there a special title for it? For example, we can call the first wife for President's wife. What about a Mayor's or a Premier's wives?
How about in corporate settings, a chairman's wife can be called other ways? Can we call her Mrs. Chairman? or basically her Mrs. Last name? However, in an article, how can i introduce her? Can I say, "Mrs. Campbell, the wife of Chairman, attended a charity event and donated ten thousand dollars towards minorities education funds"?
Thanks,
