Sisterhood & Mentors
Women are made in the company of women.
Mariama Bâ's whole novel is a letter to a friend — the relationship that survives what marriage did not. Research on longevity keeps finding the same thing folk practice always knew: durable female friendship is a health intervention. Mentors compress decades; peers keep you honest.
