Side Note: I’m Freaked.

Who's Blogging Here?

Anastasia Smith is the face of 'Claiming Sisterhood,' exploring the two definitions of that tricky verb claim: 'to take it as the rightful owner,' and also 'to assert it in the face of possible contradiction.' A younger sister to a brother, Anastasia is setting out to find and claim sisterhood on her own terms, in all its facets: 'from identity politics to pop-culture,' she says. She is just heading south from New England to do her MFA in creative writing.

Welcome to Our New Blog Network

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.
