Proposes a multi layered understanding of the cultural construction of the mother/daughter relationship. This book shows that since World War II, mainstream culture has represented the mother/daughter relationship as one of never-ending conflict and thus promoted an 'ideology of separation' as necessary to the daughter's emancipation and maturity.
