Sisterhood definition: The state of being a sister - a sisterly relationship
Ideas: This made me think of a study I learnt in sociology about bedroom culture

Bedroom culture, is a theory developed by sociologist, Angela McRobbie and argues that girls are socialised to not engage in crime and deviance through bedroom culture; this is because they’re virtually trapped in their room.
This idea of bedroom culture is where girls can be within the safety of the computer and the television
Angela Mcrobbie, developed this theory, directly looking at teenage girls and found that the private space of a girl’s bedroom, and offers her every need in terms of entertainment and communication.
It was introduced after the Second World War, as girls were seen to be more ‘ focused on home, Mum, and marriage. More time was spent in the home’’
Because of their domestic orientation, such girls developed what McRobbie described as a ‘‘culture of the bedroom,’’ which involved engaging in consumer products that might improve their appearance or provide entertainment that could be enjoyed alone or with girlfriends. At the centre of this culture was girls’ consumption of commercial magazines and recorded music.
Girls used their bedrooms to establish their own social world (such as pyjama parties and testing their own identities by changing their hair-styles and clothing).
Although the bedroom has changed for girls, it still acts as a place where growth into woman takes place.

Ideas for shoot on Bedroom Culture:
Set in a bedroom
Girls doing each others makeup, painting nails, face mask, pillow fights, hair brushing/styling, changing clothes, dressing up, reading magazines, blindfold games with fire - maybe pin the tail on the donkey?
'Involved in consumer products' - use props such as computer, phones, music
