I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU MEAN (Female Friendship)

Author: Ellen Goodman
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Publication Date: 2001-05-01
Features: Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Ellen Goodman and novelist Patricia O'Brien provide a thought-provoking, deeply personal look at the enduring bonds of friendship between women. Friends for twenty-seven years, they have served as confidants and advisors to each other during romantic, career, and child-raising crises, and have shopped together, laughed together, and enjoyed a bond unlike any other. Drawing on interviews with numerous women, the authors take readers into the heart of "the place where women do the work of their lives, the growing, the understanding, the reflection," and illuminate both the fragility and strength of relationships that are their replaceable lifelines.
