She likes women, but she doesn't like the way they can be so competitive with each other. She's thinking of starting a group for smart women to encourage and care about each other, so they'll collectively gain more power for themselves and others. And Ruth's always believed she practises what she preaches.
But Ruth's about to meet the woman who will turn her assumptions of sisterly solidarity on their head-a buxom sixty-something with one eye for business and another for Ruth's father...
