Preferred term

daughter-centricity  

Definition

  • Daughter-centricity is a term used often in association with psychoanalytic theory to describe the narrative of the daughter/child that comes at the expense of the narrative of the mother. While the subject of the narrative may be the experience of motherhood, daughter-centric accounts are conveyed through the singular perspective of the daughter, thus skewing the position toward that of the daughter/child while marginalizing or ignoring the position of the mother. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Daughter-Centricity]
