Why Women Are Their Own Worst Enemy

Twisted Sisterhood? 
An excerpt from The New York Times interview with Kelly Valen 

Why do you think other women have the capacity to hurt us the most?  

"Women have a different style of relating — we mean so much to each other. We're socialized from a very young age to trust one another. I believe the closer you are, the more at risk you are to be hurt.  
We women swim in shark-infested waters of our own design. Often we don’t have a clue where we stand with one another — socially, as mothers, as colleagues — because we’re at once allies and foes."  -   Kelly Valen, Mother of Four Children, Lawyer, Published Author, and an Inspiration!
