Williams and Gail Perry-Mason (coauthor of Girl, Make Your Money Grow, Broadway, 2003) state that the purpose of the book is to dispel the myth that women do not like each other, to increase female bonding and to offer wisdom from the seasoned generations to the younger sets.
Citing such critics as Teresa Soufas, Susan Paun de Garcia and Sharon Voros, Hegstrom illustrates the range of readings to which the play has given rise; from those who see it as a bold instance of female bonding to other readers who find the work to be ultimately inconclusive with respect to gender issues.
She then lays out a subject formation process needed to fulfill this desire for subjectivity and suggests that this formation is instigated by the violent element in female desire and culminates in a process of female bonding based on recognizing other women as subjects.
