MARILYM YALOM and THERESA DONOVAN BROWN at Books Inc. Opera Plaza
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Critically acclaimed authors Marilyn Yalom and Theresa Donovan discuss their lively, informative, and richly detailed cultural history, The Social Sex: A History of Female Friendship. In today's culture, the bonds of female friendship are taken as a given. But only a few centuries ago, the idea of female friendship was completely unacknowledged, even pooh-poohed. Surveying history, literature, philosophy, religion, and pop culture, acclaimed author Marilyn Yalom and coauthor Theresa Donovan Brown demonstrate how women were able to co-opt the public face of friendship throughout the years.
