Preferred term

daughters and mothers  

Definition

  • Mothers and daughters are sometimes considered natural allies and sometimes considered natural enemies. What resolves the paradox of the coexistence of these views is recognition of the societal myths about mothers that have profound impact on the mother-daughter relationship, as well as understanding of the nature of power as it pertains to mothers.It is not, of course, the case that mothers and daughters have more problematic relationships than do mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, or fathers and sons.
