Women in Isolation

Something seems to be amiss in our culture when it comes to female friendships.  Whether it happens during our childhood or once we graduate from High School, it seems to be so commonplace that people are either not noticing or thinking this is normal. But is it normal?  If it is "normal", does it have to be that way?


I'm noticing this scenario more and more -  girls become women, then we move, go to college, get married, have kids, etc., and as years quickly pass, somewhere along the way friendships seem to fade and seemly overnight we wake up to the realization that our friendships with other women have become virtually non-existant.

At first, this may not seem like a problem.  But sooner or later we realize it's not healthy or very beneficial to be virtually friendless outside of our spouse or family members.

Finding new friends can get more and more difficult as we get older, especially if you're introverted.  So, what can we do?

I doubt there's an easy answer, but I decided I wanted to try to do something about it.  If nothing else, I'm questioning what is accepted as normal in our relationships.

If you're reading this, I hope you will join me in helping to bring as many of us together as possible so we can put an end to women in isolation.
