This anthology reflects the scale of intensity within female friendships and captures the defining characteristics of this frequently-overlooked relationship: the intimate and the casual, the life sustaining and the life changing, as well as the tensions and the joys. Above all, this book celebrates the transformative power of friendship among women, considering the moments where friendships are “made’, the relationship between friendship and romantic love and friendship and rebellion, the role of culture - fashion, cinema, music, art - in forming friendships, and feelings towards friendships lost or regained.
