My mother was right

"My Mother Was Right focuses on the most fundamental and complicated connection of all, the mother-daughter relationship, to show that it is only after we learn to value, accept, and forgive our mothers that we are able to come to terms with ourselves."--BOOK JACKET. "Written in the words of women from all walks of life - including a Pulitzer Prize winning author, an Episcopal priest, a federal judge, and a vice-president of General Motors - My Mother Was Right offers two very different views of womanhood - Good Housekeeping magazine vs. Ms. magazine."--BOOK JACKET. "The women featured in the book speak with genuine appreciation about the lessons of self-reliance, education, spirituality, and thoughtfulness that were passed down from their mothers. Ironically, the most meaningful guidance they got from their moms is often the very advice they found so irritating when they were younger. The book also reveals the conflict women feel about the similarities they see between their mothers and themselves and the shock of realizing that the roles have been reversed in their relationships with their own daughters."--BOOK JACKET.
