Review

"[Northrup's] best and most heartfelt advice is on dealing with teenage daughters."

Excerpt

I define legacy as the huge amount of information about our own past, and our family's past, which effects our energy, health, and potential for change in each generation. This information is passed on unconsciously through repeated behavior and consciously in the form of advice.

First line

The mother-daughter relationship is at the headwaters of every woman's health.

Publisher's note

The bonds are laid down in the womb, passed from generation to generation; they continue throughout life, shaping our physical, mental, and spiritual well being. By understanding these mother-daughter bonds, we can rebuild our own health, whatever our age, and insure a healthy future for our daughters. This is the extraordinary scope and promise of Dr. Northrup's challenging new book.
MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS is for every woman who's had a mother--whether or not she has kids, and even if she's filled up her house with boys. It's definitely not a book about bringing up baby, even though Dr. Northrup says "The mother is the first physician." Like THE WISDOM OF MENOPAUSE, it's going to change how women feel about their entire lives.
The book introduces an entirely new map of female development, built around the powerful metaphor of life as a house with many rooms. You come up from the foundation, right up the cellar stairs, when you are born, and if everything goes well, you move from one room to another every seven years or so. But you can get stuck in a room. We've all met middle-aged women who are miserable and angry because they just aren't prom queens any more. They're stuck. And we've met daughters who became prom queens to please their mothers, or still feel terrible because they didn't. They're stuck. This book offers a blueprint for getting free--for both mother and daughter.
It's also organized around the 'Five Facets of Feminine Power," which are revisited at each age and stage of development. Each has a powerful impact on physical and emotional health, including:
1) Female Biology--From a provocative treatment of the immunization controversy to a lifetime nutrition program.
2) Relationships and Bonding--Learning trust and independence; recognizing relationships that drain or hurt you; teaching healthy sexuality to your daughter.
3) Self-Care--From self-esteem and daily health routines to managing difficult moods and avoiding addiction.
4) Adaptability and Resourcefulness--Why training in money management is essential to women's health, and other skills for success in life.
5) Passion and Purpose--How to nurture the inner fire that keeps us alive both literally and spiritually.
Written with warmth, passion, and dazzling insight, MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS is a book that will change lives and become essential reading for all women.

Annotation

Women's health pioneer Christiane Northrup provides a comprehensive mind/body/spirit approach to a healthy life--one that acknowledges and explores the deep and sustaining bond between mother and daughter. Using the metaphor of life as a house, she identifies three developmental stages (or "rooms")--3 months to 7 years, ages 7 to 14, and ages 14 to 21--and discusses key issues that arise within each one: conception, food, friendships, sexuality, addictions, spirituality, etc. She then offers practical advice on health issues such as conception, self-care, sleeping, bowel health, and immunization. And she doesn't hesitate to share her own views, from the gut, on parenting (including "smothering mothering") and on that essential element, self-esteem. Northrup's wisdom is based on her experiences as a woman, a daughter, and a mother--and on a belief that these ways of knowing comprise a huge and valuable body of knowledge that must be passed on.
