Think of female jealousy as feminine curiosity,as an impulsive desire to learn as many things as possible. Think of other women as a source of inspiration is surprisingly satisfying--and practical to boot. To draw from the communal reservoir of knowledge women share between them, all you need to do is get out of the house. Sit at a busy coffee-shop counter and order a bowl of soup, wait in line at the post office, or stroll through a playground among the moms and the nannies. There you will find them, in all their protean femininity! Each woman a paragon, each one exemplary in her own inimitable way.
People watching, a popular pastime everywhere, is more than simply entertainment. By reinforcing a sense of community, it brings out the performer in all of us. In cafes, restaurants, market places, parks, or stadiums, men and women alike exhibit their favorite personae in front of an audience of keen observers whose approval--or disapproval--we all seek.
