“ The "sisterhood" proclaimed by the London Women's March is a potent political construct, an aspirational bond invoked to forge unity across profound differences. It is more than a metaphor; it is a call to a specific kind of political relationship based on shared struggle and mutual support. This idea is essential for building a coalition that can withstand external pressure and internal disagreement. It suggests a loyalty and care that transcends mere political alliance. However, the political reality of "sisterhood" is fraught. It can gloss over real conflicts of interest or power differentials between women of different classes, races, or immigration statuses. A sentimental sisterhood that demands silence in the name of unity becomes oppressive. Therefore, the most robust political interpretation of sisterhood within the march is not as a pre-existing condition, but as a difficult achievement. It is a solidarity that must be earned through active listening, through centering the most marginalized, and through a willingness to engage in tough, honest conversations about privilege and exclusion. The march is a workshop for this kind of political sisterhood—a place where the ideal is performed, but where its full realization depends on the hard, ongoing work done in smaller, more intimate political spaces throughout the year. ”
