Has the sisterhood disappeared?

Okay - so we all know that we couldn't get through life without our girlfriends...they are quite literally our lifeline in times of trouble and strife. We trust them absolutely; they know our deepest secrets, fears and desires...

So how can this deep empathy that is so abundantly present in women manifest itself sometimes as such deeply rooted jealousy, envy and backstabbing? What happens to turn women into these creatures - where they are incapable of being happy for any other female of the species who happens to be more successful, attractive or luckier than they are? How come women do not use each other as a support network to further themselves and their fellow sisters? We hear often enough about the old boys' network and how men are skilled at using their connections to one another to get ahead in life; why are women unable to think beyond their individuality to achieve the same thing?
