On several occasions, I remember being told that other females were my "sisters" ...whether they were related to me or not. As a youth, I always questioned exactly what this meant. It baffled me that a female that was not one of Mommy and Daddy's daughters could be called my sister. Well I learned later on in life exactly what this concept meant and I strongly identify with it. Sisterhood is a concept that implies that all women are linked together by a strong bond, despite ANY differences they may have.
