The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs

The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs

All throughout society we are shown examples and force fed stories that teach us to believe that women cannot be trusted, should be feared, and they're our competition. From early on we take on the beliefs that we must compete against each other for our friends, for that job and for the affections of a lover, to succeed at anything, to become anything, or accomplish anything of note and worth.It has become natural and acceptable in our society to tear other women down and use them as ladders and steppingstones to get where we need to be. For many women, upon looking back on the path of her success, she would find the battered bodies of her sisters littering the ground behind her - the casualties of winning. This does not have to be the example for which we live and set for our next generation of women. Together, we are a magnificent force that can make great change and impact the lives around us. All we have to do is learn that women are not competition, but rather, we are allies. We are a team. We are on the same side.Sisterhood is the journey to discovering and accepting yourself so that you can shine your beacon of light out into the world for your soul family to find you. It's a reminder to do the work necessary to heal, and a guide on how to do it. The women in this book bare their souls, share their truth, and reveal the shadows they explored to make it possible for them to find the love that is Sisterhood, so that you can too.The stories in this book are our stories. Mine, yours, hers. They belong to all of us.
