The Female Solution

Women discuss how to form bonds of sisterhood in order to create the foundation for strong families. Women examine the culture of polygyny, a system in which several women share a husband as a means to address the lack of available single men. Women talk about the emotional issues surrounding such a lifestyle and examine feelings of jealousy, resentment and fear. Women share their personal stories in overcoming challenges such as early childhood traumas, sexual abuse, abandonment, divorce, homelessness, and other difficulties, and how these experiences enable them to empathize and bond with other women.  Women who have experienced the culture of polygyny offer some dos and don'ts for women and men considering this lifestyle.  Women take a close look at the social consequences should polygyny become accepted as a legitimate form of marriage in the U.S.
