Lisa Kogan is a woman’s woman – she loves chocolate, and carbs, and cashmere. In her wonderful articles for O magazine, she reminds us what being a woman is all about – not just daughter, wife and mother but part of a sisterhood that brings us all together through a common bond.

Women are definitely different than men. Men don’t tap on the shoulder of the guy ahead of them at the deli, and ask “What are you reading, is it any good? What’s it about? Really! I bet I would like that – I like So and So, have you read her stuff? Kind of the same genre…” and before you know it, exchange of email addresses is made and a new friendship is born.

Only women do that kind of thing – we can bond in an instant over a purse, a pair of shoes, a chance meeting in adjoining hair salon chairs or a long wait at the pediatrician’s office. We form circles within circles, shoring up the weak spots in each other and learning to lean ourselves.

Our role models are our mothers and grandmothers and aunties, our favorite teachers, the friends we make that are strong where we are weak. The chain in this case isn’t only as strong as its weakest link – each link has the strength of all the others standing behind it, and when push comes to shove we all pitch in.

Being a woman is special. Lisa holds that thought, and shares personal stories along with unique insights into the sisterhood of women in her articles on Oprah.com; take few minutes a day to read her inspirational work and you’ll walk away nodding to yourself!

Find out which women Lisa admires and why.
