Status Updates From The Virago Book of Friendship

“The peculiar nature of female friendship, for me, is this mixture of sympathy and instruction: of a loving heart and a shrewd eye. And above all it offers and endless patience and curiosity, so that feelings that may be buried and yet irritating can be brought to light, explored, and, one hopes, dispersed. […A] kind of laundering of the soul” Sue Limb ‘Female Friendship’(1989)
