Dear Sister: A Letter to the Sisterhood

by Megan Wooding

Dear Sister,I see you. I really see you. Many of us have a hard time believing we’re enough. We spend our lives doing for others but feel unseen, unsupported, and unappreciated. We wish for deeper, more meaningful relationships with other women but feel too burned out to build them; we yearn for autonomy in a world that often seems to deny it.I have found healing and affirmation of my identity and autonomy through both therapy and Christian faith. Still, I recognize Christianity as a powerful social construct that has often been used for harm instead of healing. I share with you my journey and the stories of my sisters through candid interviews that give voice to our collective struggles and triumphs. Join us as we come together to reclaim our sisterhood by finding ourselves and each other. This open letter to all womankind encourages personal reclamation of identity and worthiness by releasing shame, scarcity, and patriarchy. It is my hope and prayer that my story and those of my sisters embolden you to join us in building safe and brave communities for women everywhere.With Love,Megan

A couple of things I loved about Dear Sister were: 1) the letters that Megan started each chapter with, letters written to the reader, and 2) the journaling prompts and questions Megan included at the end of each chapter. The journaling questions really helped me self-reflect as I wrote down my answers. For example, in the chapter on releasing scarcity, Megan asked the questions, “Where do I feel constrained or lack in my life?” and “What am I most afraid of losing?” Megan’s insights into shame, patriarchy, and finding community really shaped me, and I'm grateful for this book!
