Why can so many women form wonderfully close connections
with each other while some intentionally hurt other women?
Why are girls so mean to other girls? What motivates them to
betray, backstab, trash-talk, and humiliate one another? Why
does this same hurtful behavior continue between women well
into adulthood? What can women do to have closer and more
authentic connections with one another? Mean Girls, Meaner Women, written by Dr. Erika Holiday and
Dr. Joan I. Rosenberg, two well-known psychologists long
involved in women's issues, provide answers about this
baffling behavior. They take a look at hurtful behavior
between women from the perspective of both the target and
the victim. The authors use groundbreaking brain research to
explain why being the target of a woman's hurtful behavior
and being socially excluded can be so excruciatingly painful
to women. Holiday and Rosenberg offer compelling information for
understanding the hidden dynamics (psychological,
biological, social and media influences) that lead women to
hurt or oppress women and that comprimise authentic female
relationships. Mean Girls, Meaner Women is a riveting read
for females interested in understanding women's
relationships, building closer and more collaborative bonds
with each other, and living authentically. Questions
designed to help girls and women increase self awareness and
add strength and depth to their relationships with each
other are found throughout the book. Readers will also discover: how the female brain is wired to
be more relatinal and suffer more hurt; the emotional cost
of countless "no-win" situations including the "Original Sin
of Being Female", the "Paradox of the Healthy Adult", and
"Beauty and the Bind"; the role angry and competitive
feelings between women has on authentic and deep
connections; how being "different" could make you the target
of hurtful behavior; how the media supports and reinforces
hostile behavior through the "Money Shot"; behavior that
catches the attention of the "Gender Police"; what women can
learn from men about communicating with each other; and
critical steps for healing and creating closer connections
with women.
