I get in trouble every time I write about tensions in the sisterhood – the stuff about how women lawyers don’t always get along, or the sniping that goes on between working lawyer-moms and stay-at-home ones. Often, I’m accused of perpetuating negative female stereotypes.

Like it or not, I think those tensions are real. But I also think the sisterhood has made enormous strides. In law firms and corporations, women seem much more united. Maybe there’s finally critical mass, so professional women feel less self-conscious. Maybe it’s a generational shift. Who knows.
