Sister stories are rare compared with images of celebrity sisters and 'sisterhood'. Sisters talk passionately about how their closeness and distance affects the power-balance between them. Sistering was nominated for the British Sociological Association's 2003 Philip Abrams Prize.

This book explores the significance of sister relationships in women''s lives. It documents sistering experiences through narratives of growing up, caring for the family, leaving home, and becoming a mother. Girls and women describe their emotions, shifting power dynamics, and moments of transition in their relationships. Drawing parallels between sistering and caring, the book presents new material on a widespread yet invisible aspect of the social construction of femininity. It also contributes to sociological debates about transformations in intimate ties.
