Features: This book is Freda's masterpiece. At first, many female readers were afraid to honestly examine the mother-daughter relationship, which led to slow sales growth. Later, more and more readers continued reading after finishing the first 20 pages and began recommending the book to their friends, daughters, and mothers. Six months after the first edition, the book became a bestseller. The reason it gained attention is because the author opposes blaming all of a woman's weaknesses on male hegemony. The author believes that the traditional image of a mother obscures the complexity of the mother-daughter relationship. Therefore, the book focuses on how a mother's personal development affects her daughter's early growth and later performance in areas such as gender relationships, marriage, family, and career, guiding readers to observe the formation and development of a woman's personality from a fresh perspective.
