Sisterhood is a process of becoming rather than a verbal declaration.

Evidence

The sisterhood that is necessary for the making of feminist revolution can be achieved only when all women disengage themselves from the hostility, jealousy, and competition with one another that has kept us vulnerable, weak, and unable to envision new realities. That sisterhood cannot be forged by the mere saying of words. It is the outcome of continued growth and change. It is a goal to be reached, a process of becoming. — bell hooks, Ain’t I a Woman_ Black Women and…, 457
