 This pioneering book by the author of Women on Top plays a major role in our understanding of the powerful influence the mother/daughter bond has on a woman's identity, her relationships with men, and her self-esteem. Through candid self-disclosure and hundreds of interviews, Nancy Friday investigates this feminine legacy and reveals the conflicting feelings of anger, hate, and love that daughters hold for their mothers.   less

The finest book on women and their relationships with mommy dear and men I have come to read. Would recommend it to EVERYONE who's remotely wondering why women are the way they are! I loved and hated the stuff Nancy Friday had to say but the message in this book is strong, inspirational and daring. Enjoy!
