Re: Sisterhood references You could read some work by writers bell hooks, Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich. bell hooks, in particular, argues that the concept of 'sisterhood' is a white middleclass American construct which is based on the idea of common oppression and thus denies any differences among women. She argues that this denial of difference is not useful and promotes a vision of feminism where difference is embraced (not just differences among women, but differences among people in general). Good luck with your research, Mary Harkin
