English Summary/英文概要： "The best book on sisters, very important and beautifully written."—Carol Gilligan, author of In a Different Voice
This "substantial contribution to the literature on sibling relationships" (Library Journal) explores the intricacy, friction, and love in bonds between sisters. Relationships between women are often freighted with a rocky mix of emotions—devotion and disregard, affection and loathing, admiration and envy—leading to anguish and confusion on the playground, in the home, and in the boardroom. Negotiating her layered feelings toward a sister shapes a woman’s psychology as forcefully as do her relationships with her parents. Drawing on compelling interviews and new research, Terri Apter considers the many aspects of the sister relationship from birth through adulthood. The need to fight to differentiate oneself from a sister, as well the protectiveness one feels for that same person, is explained by reference to extensive psychological and biological evidence.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本“为姐妹关系类文学作出了很大贡献”的书，被《用不同的声音》的作者卡罗·吉利甘誉为“关于姐妹关系的最优秀的书，意义非凡，文笔优美”。它探究了姐妹之间细微的争端和爱的联系。女人之间的关系往往承载着一种复杂的情感——专一和轻视，爱怜和讨厌，仰慕和嫉妒——最后导致在操场、在家里和在会议室的苦恼和困惑。姐妹之间的影响对一个女孩的心理影响甚大，甚至跟父母对她的影响一样强大。结合大量的采访和调查素材，泰瑞·阿普特为读者揭示了姐妹关系从出生到成人等不同阶段的发展状况。处于姐妹关系中的两方，一方面挣扎着与对方区别开，一方面又时刻想保护对方，对于这一有趣的现象，泰瑞·阿普特从心理和生理方面进行了解释。
