About this item
You know all about so-called "mean girls" and competitive, judgmental women. Maybe you had a cruel high school experience straight out of the movie Carrie. Maybe you find yourself anxious because your daughter's peers are excluding her. Maybe you've been harassed or marginalized by other females for being something they were not: fat, acne-prone, too pretty, not pretty enough, brainy, religious, anxious, overconfident, a different kind of mother. Maybe you have a difficult female boss or co-workers who are wreaking havoc on your ability to thrive or trust them in the workplace. Maybe you've shrugged it all off and figured: That's just the way human beings sometimes operate, or I'm not going to feed the cultural or media stereotypes by whining about other women.
