Marion Roach Smith’s alternate sisterly reality, with Margaret Roach.
WOMEN AREN’T ALIKE. Or so it took me to paragraph 21 of the cover piece of this Sunday’s Week in Review to be told. As we say in my house: Duh. A massive, longitudinal study on women, and this is the best they can do? And then bury it deep in the piece? I’m quite sure those of you who did not read this on Sunday need to read this now.

BIKING WITH MOM: Nowhere is our story more two-sided than on the topic of our mother.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
