In the opening chapter of my thesis I am going to enumerate some everyday examples of these passions of women towards each other, the reasons behind which I shall discuss in the rest of my essay. Throughout my essay, supporting my arguments, I am also going to look at some products of the film and music industry, and examples from literature too. As an overall aim I would like to try and discover if this outcome - love and hate relationship of women - is a question of biology or gender, acquired by social education. To answer this question I am going to turn to a few of sociological and psychological studies.
