When your best friend makes you angry, why can’t you tell her?
 
As women pursue professional and personal goals, the support needed from female friends can be undermined by feelings of envy, competition, and anger. In this groundbreaking book, Luise Eichenbaum and Susie Orbach show:

• How mother-daughter relationships affect women’s desire to forge close adult friendships
• How to stop hiding painful feelings and speak up to your friends
• How to enhance feelings of autonomy and self-development while remaining "connected" to others
• Why "daring to differ" with friends can strengthen your value to each other as you strive for individuality
 
Compassionate and insightful, Between Women: Love, Envy, and Competition in Women’s Friendships will help you achieve a strong sense of self and enjoy richer and more enduring relationships with your friends.
