Publisher's Synopsis
Channeling social science, spiritual teachings and reflections on the art of holding space, Unsmothering Girlhood: The Social Geometry of the Sisterhood Wound is a loving invitation to witness the light of another as the living reflection of our own. As the original sociological conceptualisation of the "sisterhood wound," this relevant and timely research brings light and language to the infamous phenomenon of "mean girl" behaviour. A lyrical awakening to the ancient and persuasive power of the circle, Unsmothering Girlhood offers a generative approach to healing and initiates a collective return to the truth of our unity. Cultivating diverse and celebratory community through accessible, vibrant public sociology, this research has been recognised nationally by the Canadian Sociological Association, as well as by the Department of Sociology at the University of British Columbia.
