She has also collected countless mother stories--stories that have the force of myth that are told by women about their mothers. In this intriguing book, Chernin asserts that in order for daughters to become complete individuals, they must, in some sense, psychically "birth" their own mothers. In explaining this provocative theory, she presents characteristic elements of the mother story, including idealization, blame, guilt, forgiveness, and letting go ("giving birth"). She then challenges the reader to trace these elements and identify the themes in six "real but invented" portraits of women and their mothers. During this moving and sometimes confusing process, readers will eventually come to a new level of understanding about the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship--leaving any candy-coated, romanticized vision far behind. <I>The Woman Who Gave Birth to Her Mother</I>--beautifully written and often painful to read--generates more questions about mothers and daughters than it answers, but you'll never look at a mother-daughter story in the same way again. <I>--Ericka Lutz</I> 399460 1998 The Woman Who Gave Birth to Her Mother total:18|5:4|4:5|3:3|2:5|1:1| 18 60 26 6 4 0 false false Tue Jun 16 01:40:33 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 02:23:04 -0700 2009 15 januari kemarin, gw dapet buku paling spesial yang pernah gw punya ;)..judulnya “The w...more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Jan 09 08:25:28 -0800 2009 Thu Apr 30 08:30:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Feb 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 10 11:50:05 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 08 21:47:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 22:19:58 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 22:24:44 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jan 23 09:45:20 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 09:46:15 -0800 2008 1 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Nov 10 12:57:49 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 10 12:58:05 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 15:57:05 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 15:57:05 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sat Oct 17 13:41:54 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 13:41:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 23 14:11:38 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 14:11:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jun 17 12:54:56 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 12:54:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 04 14:48:34 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 15:20:45 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 15 13:22:25 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 13:22:27 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 12 09:19:40 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 01 09:58:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 02 08:50:04 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 08:50:04 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 21 10:21:45 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 10:21:45 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Aug 12 14:09:23 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 14:09:23 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue Jul 22 13:03:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 13:03:45 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jun 06 01:25:54 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 01:25:54 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri May 30 09:04:11 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 09:04:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Apr 18 11:22:41 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 11:22:45 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=410175
