As the daughters of baby boomer moms approach womanhood the
questions begin. Will I teach my daughter the right things? How do
I correct the mistakes my mother made with me?
Mother Daughter Revolution: From Betrayal to Power addresses all
the issues that a mother guiding a budding woman could possibly
need to know about. Authors Elizabeth Debold, Marie Wilson, and
Idelisse Malave approach these dilemmas as would any other mother
who is concerned with the survival of her daughter in a
male-dominant society would. This book centers on women's attempts
to build trusting relationships with their daughters. The
foundation of this trust is based on removing the feeling of
betrayal that develops when daughters feel that their mothers have
not prepared them for the earthshaking changes they experience
during adolescence. Lack of preparation for 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 describes the path from adolescence to womanhood through
identifiable stories and anecdotes. Many 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 tell
their daughters that being nice is not always an option, especially
if "being nice" infringes upon their rights.
