Jealousy is an evil word. It is an emotion that gnaws away inside you, souring relationships, and if it is not controlled can ruin your life.

When Nancy Friday first discovered her own strong feelings of jealousy, she was horrified. Yet she found she was not alone, and that jealousy is at the heart of family life and the core of many relationships.

What makes you feel so bitter when:

Your best friend lands the job of your dreams?
Your mother confides in your sister rather than you?
You fear your partner has been seeing someone else?
A baby is born and disrupts family life as you know it?

Nancy Friday has used her own experiences and those of many men and women to strip bare this multi-faceted emotion. All too often we blame our jealousy on the target of our resentment, but Nancy Friday enables us to understand ourselves more deeply, and to recognize that jealousy is a misery we inflict on ourselves.
