Deep dives

Understanding the Sisterhood Wound

Women often carry the sisterhood wound, which manifests as a fear of other women and competition for power and beauty. This fear stems from societal conditioning that promotes the idea that one woman's empowerment diminishes another's, leading to feelings of insecurity and betrayal among women. This historical context is rooted in a patriarchal narrative that suggested women could only attain worth through marriage and beauty, causing internalized rivalry. Acknowledging and understanding this wound is essential for women to reclaim their power and foster healthy relationships within sisterhood.
