| "Best friends forever," or "BFF," a phrase said often by many a young girl, may prove, as she grows into a woman and responsibilities leave less time for friends, easier said than done. Gleaning from their own experiences with friends, families, and responsibilities, and supported by hundreds of interviews, Degges-White and Borzumato-Gainey attempt to make sense of female relationships, from why we need them to how to make them. Highlighting the murky differences between female and male friendships, this work is clearly written by women for women. The book tracks and analyzes female friendships from early childhood to late life, tackling milestones like coupling, marriage, and childbirth. Parallel features of female friendships arise at every age, from the obvious (forming friendships based on common interest) to more crucial elements of trust, honesty, and reciprocity. Relatable tales and easy-to-implement recommendations will equip female readers with the confidence to form new, lasting friendships and the language with which to discuss their current ones. In the end, making friends for women of any age, at any stage in life, will seem less daunting and more inviting than ever. Publisher's Weekly (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved. |

"Miss Representation uncovers a glaring reality
we live with every day but fail to see. Written and
directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film
exposes how mainstream media contribute to the
under-representation of women in positions of
power and influence in America. The film
challenges the media’s limited and often
disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which
make it difficult for women to achieve leadership
positions and for the average woman to feel
powerful herself."
