From the Paper:

""Sisters and brothers can provide companionship, help and emotional support to children during childhood" (Kosonen 267). Most women who have sisters know the importance of a special bond that makes a difference in a person's life. Sisterhood is a word that can have different meanings. Many people hearing the word "sisterhood" think about nuns who dedicate their lives to the Catholic Church deciding never to marry. Others think "sisterhood" means the special relationship that women in the Christian church have. Sisterhood, in all three of these situations, has similar meanings and privileges. Sisterhood means having a special bond with another person. Consider the meaning of sisterhood in a family of two or more girls. "Sisters and brothers can provide companionship, help and emotional support to children during childhood. They can teach new skills and look after children in the parents' absence" (Kosonen 167)."
