Las hijas horribles

The relationship between mothers and daughters is marked, often suspicious, by difficulty, disagreement or pain. Mothers and daughters seem to be condemned to not understand each other. Why is there so much tension between us? Why is it so common for this bond to be so complex and sometimes so damaging? Are we really all so equal? Why, however, is the father figure usually perceived in a more kind way? If they have to deal with the hateful cliché of the bad mother, we have to deal with the bad daughter. Perhaps the time has come to start questioning how much is true in this and how much is environmental. Maybe it's time to stop feeling like ruthless, selfish or forgetful daughters. Horrible daughters. In this book, the writer and journalist Blanca Lacasa tries to solve the enigma that seems to surround this link and she does so by talking to experts, turning to theorists or using popular culture, but above all, asking and listening to women so they can tell their experiences.
