The Sister Knot : Why We Fight, Why We're Jealous and Why We'll Love Each Other No Matter What

Relationships between women are often freighted with a rocky mix of emotions leading to anguish and confusion in the playground, in the home and in the boardroom.

A woman's experience negotiating her feelings towards a sister shapes her psychology as forcefully as do her relationships with her parents.

By exploring sisterhood, Terri Apter reveals its key role in understanding all relationships among women.

In a series of compelling interviews, Apter considers the many aspects of the sister relationship.

The need to fight to differentiate oneself from a sister, as well as the protectiveness one feels for that same person, is explained by reference to extensive psychological and biological evidence.

Not only will sisters be enlightened by this original book: it sheds light on all relationships between women.
