Sisterhood used to be the most powerful metaphor for relationships
between women. Now there is a new interest in the mother-daughter
relationship which in all its complexity, often acts as a better
symbol of the diversity and difference inherent in women's
relations in general. However, while recent theorizing has focused
on the role of the mothers and mothering, far less attention has
been given to the active role taken by women as daughters. With
this focus on daughtering, the book offers conceptualizations to
extend the normal boundaries of psychoanalytic theory. "Daughtering
and Mothering" develops its discussion from viewpoints in
psychoanalysis and psychology, as well as cultural anthropology.
The contributors take up three main themes, firstly on the sexual
dimension of female subjectivity, challenging the notion that the
father is necessarily the first sexual object. They also discuss
contextual issues, examining women's roles in therapy, management
and education, and in external relations in general. Finally they
argue that the concept of "good-enough-mothering" is an idealized
version of the mother-daughter relationship.
