Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
As important as friends are to women--essential, after all, to their identity as human beings--other roles in their lives get most of the ink: their lovers, spouses, children, and family. Girlfriends lovingly--and somewhat exhaustively--spotlights female comradeship. This book (which screams, "Buy me as a gift!") is simply a collection of women speaking about aspects of their female friendships to the indefatigable interviewer-slash-authors. Major topics of the book include girlhood adventures, friendships during transitions such as marriage and children, remembering friends, et cetera. In an odd little postscript, Girlfriends lists methods of female bonding such as theme parties, things with quilts and teacups, and other rituals. After all the words that precede it, such a section seems like gilding the lily.

Relationships with lovers (male or female) thrum with a sexual undertone that works against the special distanced intimacy of friendship. As Girlfriends never tires of pointing out, only another woman knows what it is like to be a woman. A powerful antidote to alienation, friendships are a prime ingredient in a woman's life well-lived.

Product Description:
Ask any woman and she will tell you that her friendships with other women are among the most important relationships in her life. In Girlfriends, Berry and Traeder explore the depths and complexities of women's relationships and the joy and sustenance they engender. Part inspiration and part storytelling, this is the ideal gift for a new friend, lifelong friend, special friend or best friend.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dear, Sweet, & Beautiful
This book was given to me by my best friend after finishing college. I will always treasure this thoughtful and special gift.

_Girlfriends_ is a collection of stories that explore and celebrate female friendship through the eyes, ears, and hearts of everyday women. Some of the women were friends for a lifetime, others for a short time. However, all understood and/or demonstrated the meaning of "true friendship." For example, the stories included everything from the thankful musings of ... Read More

I was touched by each story in this book. Some even brought tears to my eyes. This book would be a great one to have for yourself and to give to all your friends.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delightful!!!
I am a girlfriend and fortunately, God has blessed me with some fabulous girlfriends. I found a close example of each of my girlfriends in this book. This book is so clever! It's fun to give to my girlfriends and laugh over the good, bad, ugly, ridiculous and bizarre times we have had...and these girls in the books had! It's a great book to read and to give away. Don't miss getting this one!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A wonderful gift for a friend!!
My best friend gave me this book for my birthday, and I had already bought it to give to her for her birthday. The vignettes worked into the text are wonderful. This is a great celebration of intimate friendship between women. I would highly reccommend it!
