Why is female friendship so important to women  despite the prevalence of female betrayals? How does the mother-daughter relationship impede womens growth? This bookdestined to be a controversial classicdraws on recent biological  psychological  and anthropological research  as well as hundreds of original interviews  to redress the complicated silence that has prevailed about womans inhumanity to woman. While women may not be aggressive in the same way that men are  cross-cultural studies confirm that girls and women are equally aggressive in indirect ways  and mainly toward each other. Women envy and compete against other women  not against menand tend to deny this  even to themselves. Like men  many women also hold sexist beliefs; often  they are unaware of it. Women depend upon each other for emotional intimacy and bonding  but their power to form cliques  gossip about  and shun one another enforces conformity and discourages self-confidence and psychological clarity from girlhood on. Are women oppressed? Yes. Do oppressed people internalize the oppressors attitudes? Without a doubt. Women  therefore  must acknowledge their own sexism and gender double-standards before they can practice sisterhood  resist sexism  treat other women ethically  and forge realistic and compassionate personal and political coalitions.
