Hahaha, I would love to see something like this for every single page of those books.
Anyway, though her language is beyond simplistic and slightly off the mark, I think the image she was trying to project was "an estrogen high". Something similar to what men would refer to as a "sausage fest" when the number of men outweighs the number of women. Or something stupid like that. I would have gone with "estrogen overdose".

I think I understand what she means, although the wording is so strange. Sometimes when I'm around my female friends I'll act more feminine than if I were around my male friends. That is what I took out of the context, at least.
I think it's like, a good feeling from hanging out with a group of girls? I definitely do get a different feeling from being around all girls, as opposed to being with a mixed group, or a group of all guys. I wouldn't call it an "estrogen rush" though, like I don't think it's a chemical thing, more of a metaphor? I haven't read the book though, just guessing from the passage.
When I think of an estrogen rush makes me think hot flashes and whatever else. I do not think of the feeling you get when you are around many women, but I do feel different around all women.

Hot flashes are the result of not enough estrogen - so calling it an estrogen rush is wrong. I think what's being described would be an adrenaline or endorphin rush. Both are relatively common especially in BDSM activities.
