Description

“Describes the potential for a powerful new relationship between mothers and daughters which would change the relationship between all women and girls.”—Gloria Steinem

As the daughters of baby boomer moms approach womanhood the questions begin. WillI teach my daughter the right things? How do I correct the mistakes my mother madewith me?

Mother Daughter Revolution: From Betrayal to Power addresses all the issuesthat a mother guiding a budding woman could possibly need to know about. AuthorsElizabeth Debold, Marie Wilson, and Idelisse Malave approach these dilemmas as wouldany other mother who is concerned with the survival of her daughter in a male-dominantsociety would. This book centers on women’s attempts to build trusting relationshipswith their daughters. The foundation of this trust is based on removing the feelingof betrayal that develops when daughters feel that their mothers have not preparedthem for the earthshaking changes they experience during adolescence. Lack of preparationfor these changes leads to a lack of confidence and an inability to deal with competition.

Mother Daughter Revolution is written in a problem and solution style and describesthe path from adolescence to womanhood through identifiable stories and mothers recount stories of being told by their mothers to “be nice” because”nice girls get married and get good things.” Well, these new mothers opt to telltheir daughters that being nice is not always an option, especially if “being nice”infringes upon their rights.
