Las hijas horribles
Having a bad relationship with your mother is a source of much frustration, discomfort, and pain. Blanca Lacasa investigates why this tension is so common.
The relationship between mothers and daughters is often, suspiciously, marked by difficulty, misunderstanding, or pain. Mothers and daughters seem doomed not to understand each other. Why is there so much underlying tension between us? Why is this bond so often complex and, at times, so harmful? Are we really all so alike? Why, then, is the father figure usually perceived more kindly?
If mothers have to deal with the hateful cliché of the bad mother, we have to deal with that of the bad daughter. Maybe it’s time to start questioning how much of this is true and how much is environmental. Maybe it’s time to stop feeling like ruthless, selfish, or forgetful daughters. Horrible daughters.
In this book, writer and journalist Blanca Lacasa tries to solve the mystery surrounding this bond by talking with experts, consulting theorists, or drawing on popular culture, but above all, by asking and listening to women to hear their experiences.
