Marion Roach Smith’s alternate sisterly reality, with Margaret Roach.
SIBLINGS–TWO PEAS IN A POD, RIGHT? Often the differences are like night and day, and the similarities can be so exact that it’s hard to tell where one ends and one begins. As the first article in a series on synastry, the branch of astrology focused on relationships and compatibility, TSP astrologer Sheilaa Hite compared our charts…just in time for Marion’s birthday today. You can read the whole story here.

THE FOUR FOUNDING sisters of TSP lunched right before New Year’s to talk of this and that and, of course, of our new astrological sister, Sheilaa Hite. Paige cooked, which made everything perfect, that is, until Margaret looked up from her soup to ask, “What sign are you?” and Paige and I—both redheads—just stared at her. I mean, c’mon, it’s obvious. Isn’t it? [click to continue…]

LITTLE SISTER, BIG SISTER: A digital moment, today.
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.
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there.
