WE’VE ALL HEARD THE STORY OF EVE: THE TEMPTRESS, THE DOWNFALL OF MAN, THE CURIOSITY OF A WOMAN ENDING IT ALL. THE WOMAN IS PORTRAYED AS THE MODERN DAY SIDE-KICK; THE BELOVED OF MAN. BUT WHERE ARE THE STORIES DEPICTING WOMEN IN COMMUNITY WITH ONE ANOTHER? FOR CENTURIES, WOMEN HAVE RELIED ON THE SUPPORT OF ONE ANOTHER TO RAISE ENTIRE COMMUNITIES. WHILE THERE ARE LITTLE TO NO LOVE STORIES ABOUT THIS FORM OF FEMININE INTIMACY, OUR CULTURE CONTINUES TO THRIVE OFF OF THE PLATONIC LOVE AND DEVOTION FOUND IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. BEFORE CIVILITY, BEFORE THE BOXING IN… WOMEN WERE THE HEARTBEAT OF COMMUNITY, OF HEALING, OF BIRTH, OF LOVE.
