Based on interviews and questionnaires from 400 women, teens and girls world-wide, My Sister, My Self explores the indelible stamp that being a sister makes on our identities. Whether the relationship was close, or conflicted, or somewhere in between, that life-long bond largely shapes who we are.
My Sister, My Self shows that the mere fact of having grown up as an older, younger, middle or twin sister
significantly affects how we feel about ourselves as adults. It influences many of the choices we make - the occupation we choose, our circle of friends, our love relationships, and even how we get along with our mothers and daughters.
My Sister, My Self also explores those sister relationships characterized by caretaking, conflict or extreme closeness. It offers suggestions to help women improve or accept challenging sister connections.
