As so many girls are, she was an "everything girl." She was smart, funny, pretty, sporty and emotionally warm. She was the kind of person who made you proud to exist as a human. As if in any period of emotional turmoil you could just point to her and say, "You see that human, that's what I am too."

The girls had formed a sisterhood, a safe space in which they could be completely female without the gaze of men. It was their sanctuary in a world that had long sought dominance over prestige leaders.

Without the other girls, I would have never felt as safe as I needed to in choosing a man. If the sisters aren't there to pick up the pieces when a lover is cruel, you can get trapped for years rather than escaping in single day.

Being with other girls is to have the company of those who see you as a full human being with all potential, emotions and intellect. It releases feelings of positive self worth and mental wellness that can last for some time. Such experiences enable us to keep on giving to our children, lovers and family. So while social time with men is great and enjoyable, the spas and beauty salons give us somewhere to truly relax and revel in being both feminine and strong.
