Sara, is there a piece or interview you could do like this on Boomer women? I'm finding as I get older that I have a lot more sympathy for my mom (b. 1955) and the mistakes she made as the mother of a daughter (b. 1986) in teaching me how to exist in the world and in relationships. I was angry at her; now I'm angry at *~the system~* that made her think that she was helping me. Because she really did! She was doing her absolute best with the knowledge and tools she had. I'd love to learn more about the forces that shaped her and her peers into the moms they became!

Cannot wait to get my grubby paws on this book when it comes to my side of the world! Thanks for another great read. This spoke to me on MANY levels - a girl who was born in 86, and now a mom of little people, still finding cobwebby bits of leftover 90s girlhood issues coming back to haunt me.
