If I'm not writing, I'm thinking about what I will write when I get to my desk. For my nonfiction books, I consider how women feel as mothers, daughters sisters, friends, colleagues, wives, single women in our society. For my novels, I consider the story about how women feel -- how will I convey what I've learned in my research and put it into a dramatic fictional tale. By being engaged in the writing process, I'm able to avoid the dreaded' block' (less)

Quotes by Susan Shapiro Barash  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The mother who understands her own intentions and her daughter’s intentions, who has introspection and a strong sense of self, and who is able to separate her identity from her daughter’s, has the key to achieving the right balance.”
Susan Shapiro Barash

“Although previous studies had suggested that friendship--male and female--could be a powerful antidote to stress, more recent research indicates that broken promises, dashed expectations, and other side effects of friendship gone wrong can actually raise the level of stress in our lives, often to disastrous effect.”
Susan Shapiro Barash, Tripping the Prom Queen: The Truth About Women and Rivalry

“Every time we cheer the downfall of a powerful woman, we're giving ourselves the message that power is bad and we shouldn't desire it. Every time we revel in a beautiful woman's aging or weight gain, we reinforce the idea that we, too, are less valuable if we are old or overweight. Every time we gloat over a woman's loss of a husband to a younger, prettier rival, we are reminding ourselves that our own relationship is unstable, that someday our man, too, will move on to greener pastures.”
Susan Shapiro Barash, Tripping the Prom Queen: The Truth About Women and Rivalry
