The Sisterhood Myth

by Liz Fraser

Every woman knows it. No woman says it. 

Until now.

From village gossip to playground bitching, workplace bullying to online pile-ons, ‘The Sisterhood Myth’ lays bare a taboo subject that every woman experiences at some time in her life, yet, bizarrely, still remains almost completely hushed, as if unsayable:

FEMALE MISOGYNY.

A trail-blazing, brave, culture-defining narrative by best-selling author, Liz Fraser, The Sisterhood Myth will speak to women everywhere who’ve never felt they could speak of such things, and will open a much-needed conversation about how women and girls behave towards each other, that’s been pot-boiling quietly for a long time.

Powerful, poignant, honest and highly relevant for our times, this is a deeply personal, societal, curiously also tender and at times very funny account of female friendship, girl-girl rivalry and the type of brutal unkindness and intentional, often group-based cruelty and hurt that girls know from their earliest days at school, and which all too often continues into adulthood.
With potentially fatal results.

Part memoir, part collection of accounts of other women’s experiences and part blistering, unapologetic manifesto for change on the thorny, secretive and ever-growing issue of female misogyny, The Sisterhood Myth examines this age-old behaviour, looks at the history of women harming other women, the new threats to women’s wellbeing through online trolling and AI, and asks us to think honestly about why we do it - and how we can change, both individually and as a society.
