«Ma mère, mon miroir» is the psychology essay by Nancy Friday, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (420 pages, in French).
Drawing on her own experience, Nancy Friday analyses the mother-daughter relationship and argues that identification with the mother shapes the daughter's identity and emotional development. The introspective, autobiographical narrative addresses sexuality and emotional life, with contributions from specialists in female identity.
The 1979 French edition, translated by Théo Carlier, derives from the original «My Mother/My Self: The Daughter's Search for Identity» (1977) and belongs to the Réponses collection.
Aimed at readers of psychology and personal development, especially those interested in female identity and family relationships.
Nancy Colbert Friday was an American author who wrote on the topics of female sexuality and liberation. Her writings argue that women have often been reared under an ideal of womanhood, which was outdated and restrictive, and largely unrepresentative of many women's true inner lives, and that openness about women's hidden lives could help free women to truly feel able to enjoy being themselves. She asserts that this is not due to deliberate malice, but due to social expectation, and that for women's and men's benefit alike it is healthier that both be able to be equally open, participatory and free to be accepted for who and what they are.
