You're the only one I can tell: inside the language of women's friendships

Women friends talking

That's not what I meant!: the invisible influence of conversational style

"We're a lot alike, " "We're very different": the importance of being

or not being

the same

The same

or better?: connection and competition

FOBLO, FOGKO, and the safe embrace of women in groups

Too close for comfort: cutoffs, poaching, drama!

"Like" it or not: women, friendship, and social media

My friend, my sister, my self: what it means to be close

Epilogue.
