📖 Being and Doing Sister: Femininity as Power among Sistering Relations..

Siblings share a common family experience, they live close to each other and share a common set of cultural expectations regarding appropriate conduct between them. It is within the family where girls learn their role and begin interacting in a nurturing, supportive and intimate manner. Early interaction for females in their families might be important for the emergence of a strong sistering relationship that can last throughout adulthood. In this book, women construct their relationships with their sisters, what these constructions say about what it means to be a woman and how these women’s individual experiences might help us to understand their emotional investments in these particular discursive constructions of sistering.
