Female bonding

Female bonding is the formation of a close personal relationship and pattern of friendship, attachment, and cooperation between females, a concept studied in ethology and the social sciences. It covers relationship types ranging from familial ties to friendships, including mother-daughter relationships, which provide emotional and financial support, and sister-sister relationships, which research suggests are among the strongest ties that exist among gendered sibling pairs. Emotional sharing is considered the primary foundation of female bonding, making it a significant subject of study in interpersonal relationships and psychology. The phenomenon is not limited to humans: research on Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins has found that genetic relatedness influences female social bonding in that species, suggesting the behavior may have biological foundations shared across species.
