«Wie meine Mutter» is Nancy Friday's essay on the mother-daughter relationship, published by Fischer (Tb.) in paperback (448 pages, in German).
Nancy Friday explores the bonds between mothers and daughters throughout the life cycle: initial closeness, separation, body image, menstruation, competition among women, living alone, and grief at the mother's death. The work argues that the maternal relationship conditions female identity and autonomy.
German translation of the original «My Mother/My Self: The Daughter's Search for Identity» (1977), with an author's preface, by Ute Seesslen; collection «Die Frau in der Gesellschaft», no. 3726.
For readers interested in the psychology of family relationships, gender studies, and non-fiction on female identity.
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 Her writings argue that women have often been reared under an ideal of womanhood, which was outdated and restrictive, and largely unrepresentative of many women's true inner lives, and that openness about women's hidden lives could help free women to truly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.
