Woman's inhumanity to woman
Book • 2009
In 'Woman's Inhumanity to Woman', Phyllis Chesler delves into the often-overlooked topic of women's aggression towards other women.
The book, which took 21 years to write, is based on extensive research including primate and anthropological studies, workplace analyses, sociological data, and hundreds of original interviews.
Chesler argues that women internalize societal biases and misogyny, leading to behaviors such as gossip, exclusion, and competition that undermine female solidarity and empowerment.
The book explores various contexts, including relationships between mothers and daughters, sisters, friends, and women in the workplace, highlighting the need for women to recognize and overcome these internalized biases to achieve true sisterhood and personal growth.
