Publisher's Note
After growing up with two vigorously competing visions of womanhood, that of their mothers' family values conservatism and that of the 1960s bra-burning feminist movement, mid-life women now look for resolution. "My Mother Was Right" uncovers the middle ground for which these women search. In "My Mother Was Right", women of "The Feminine Mystique" and "Ms". magazine generation come to terms with the wisdom of "Ladies Home Journal" and Donna Reed. A survey of 170 women across the United States and Canada shows readers that it is only after we come to terms with our mothers that we are able to come to terms with ourselves. Lessons learned from babyboomer women as they make peace with their mothersThis insightful and entertaining book shares the stories of 170 women from the U.S. and Canada who came of age in the 1960s. Recalling the turbulent relationships they had with their mothers, these middle-age women discover they are now grateful for the advice they resented most as young women."We are changing our minds about our mothers. It is now occurring to us that the person we rebelled against, whom we used as a role model of how we would not like to lead our lives, and who upheld outmoded ideas on the place a woman should take in society and how she should behave, may not have been entirely wrong. She was not necessarily absolutely correct . . . but certainly we have now begun to seek a reconciliation with her on matters great and small. . . . Her oft-repeated homilies, those sound bites of motherly wisdom, which at one time would have caused us to roll our eyes and feel intense irritation, have taken on meanings."?from the Preface
Industry reviews
The dynamics of relationships between baby-boomer women and their mothers are the subject of this evenhanded study. "Given the two very disparate worlds baby boomer daughters and our mothers live in, it has been especially difficult to relate to each other sometimes," note the authors, who cite the feminist movement and other social trends as reasons why baby boomers have often perceived themselves as having little in common with their moms. But the premise here is that as women age, they begin to identify more closely with their mothers and to develop a greater appreciation for their mothers' values and lifestyle. These findings were reached through a series of questionnaires, interviews and focus groups with 170 35-55-year-old women. McFarland, a psychologist, and Watson-Rouslin, a freelance writer, don't come up with any new insights, but their careful attention to the many forms such relationships take can help readers put their own feelings about their mothers in a larger, edifying context. And the authors' persistent willingness to find validity in the perspectives of mothers and daughters alike offers a model for those who hope to improve relations with their own parents or children.
