FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Christy Whitman @ (610) 883-7345 (Philadelphia, PA) . . .It happens between mothers and daughters, female co-workers and their colleagues, sisters and gal pals - women constantly compare themselves to other women. Whether consciously or unconsciously expressed, most women look to other women as to who is more beautiful or who is more successful. In this unspoken competition to be the prettiest, the most accomplished, or the wealthiest; women often treat each other as though they were sworn enemies, and behave deceptively towards one another, or undermine the successes of one another. At the root of a woman’s misguided behavior and belief lies female competition. While the idea of female competition might bring to mind the dramatic makings of a Hollywood soap opera - complete with hair pulling, name calling cat fights – in reality, female competition is quite different from the known stereotypes. Female competition is actually a very subtle and insidious energy that seduces women into believing that they are not good enough, smart enough, or successful enough. It is a belief that conditions women to look for their worth in the opinions and standards of others. It is the false assumption that only one woman can be "the fairest one of all".
