- Description
- The authors demonstrate how women were able to co-opt the public face of friendship throughout the years. Chronicling shifting attitudes toward friendship from the Bible and the Romans to the Enlightenment to the women’s rights movements of the ‘60s up to Sex and the City and Bridesmaids, they reveal how the concept of female friendship has been linked to social and cultural movements that have defined human history.
