are woman closer to other woman regardless of where they are from. or men from their own country?

Answer 1

no some levels. but culture can override religion. if your culture define a woman or a 'good' woman as different from another culture, you will not be able to bond with that female.

there have been poems and different things written about how women can focus on their similarites and ignore their differences

Answer 2

No, we are not a close link, nationality and race stops that.
