Good Girls Gossip

The ultimate guide to female friendship, mutual empowerment, and reclaiming "gossip" from the patriarchy, with humorous anecdotes and 30 practical exercises from social media star Tova Leigh. When women talk together, amazing things happen … "Some call it friendship, others call it a bunch of crazy women having a laugh ... I call it female empowerment." As Tova Leigh grew up, she watched how her mother and her friends gave each other permission to be who they truly were: badasses, fierce, larger than life, brave, vulnerable, compassionate, rude, outrageous, ridiculous, thoughtful ... human! The whole freaking shabbang. This was a life-changing lesson in empowerment. This book celebrates the tradition of female camaraderie, of sisterhood shared across the generations, and the communication – dismissed by the patriarchy as "gossip" – that binds women together. Sharing stories of inspiring women she's met, as well as her own experiences and practical tools to find your own power, Tova encourages us to be more curious about the women in our lives and to seek out more female friendships and mentors. Because when women come together, incredible things happen.
