Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very good. In Catfight, Leora Tanenbaum explores the roots of destructive competitiveness among women. Catfights thrive, she says, because women are conditioned to regard each other as adversaries rather than allies. In virtually every walk of life, women compete with their 'sisters' in a tacit contest over who is the 'better' woman. From diets to dating, from the boardroom to the delivery room - the author describes how women compare their looks, bodies, men, career achievements and competence as mothers. 'Carolyn's rapist was dancing with two women, a smirk on his face, when he spotted her. He pointed in her direction. The women he was with laughed and called over to her, 'Lying bitch.'' Drawing on dozens of interviews and a library of feminist writings, Tanenbaum explores the ways in which women impede, and sometimes sabotage, each other's success and happiness. In revealing the state of play in the US, Catfight also sheds light on an underexamined issue in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere: how things really work between women. These revelations will surprise men, and will have women nodding their heads in recognition. Competitiveness is a point of concern and possible anguish for many women of varying ages, making this book an important contribution to a discussion of this corrosive interpersonal force. 'In an age when women need each other more than ever, Tanenbaum challenges the notion of 'the sisterhood' with a disturbing and very personal account of the destructive influences at play when women compete.' - Cyndi Tebbel, author of The Body Snatchers: How the media shapes women. 'This is an important and absorbing read for all women, young and old - at school, at home, and in the workplace. Tanenbaum goes beyond how women's bodies, the workplace, the home and motherhood become sites of unhealthy competition and resentment between women. She also explains why this is so, and what actions can be taken to make our societies, workplaces and families more supportive and equitable places for all women.' - Dr Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli, author of Girls' Talk: Young women speak their hearts and minds. 'Catfight is an incisive exploration of a long-taboo subject - how and why women sabotage one another .' - Gail Sheehy, author of New Passages. 282 pages. Seller Inventory # 1448372
