Text Me When You Get Home
"Text me when you get home." - These seemingly simple words actually hold a lot of meanings for women who wish to ensure their loved ones' safety. And, in today's world, this phrase is about something even better than that; it's about standing together in solidarity.
From Broad City to Big Little Lies and beyond, the way we talk about female friendship has evolved. No longer is it seen as trivial or disposable, but rather as essential and meaningful as any other important relationship in our lives, be it with romantic partners, children, parents, or siblings.
Journalist Kayleen Schaefer shares her personal journey in understanding the power and significance of modern female friendships. From the competitive teenage years to navigating male-dominated workplaces, Schaefer ultimately discovers the magic of girl squads, soulmates, and chosen families that come with female friendship.
Through interviews with historians, creators of iconic films and television shows, celebrities, authors, and experts across the country, Text Me When You Get Home presents a fresh sociological perspective on how we view our friendships today. The result is a groundbreaking validation of the importance of female friendship, unlike anything seen before.
