[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page overview of the contentions presented by noted author Danielle Crittenden. Targeting an audience of women in their twenties, Crittenden analyzes the successes, failures, and shortcomings which she sees as characterizing the lives of her reader’s mothers, those women who stand at the height of the feminist movement of earlier generations, those women who gave up much of the status quo of a woman’s traditional world pursuits in favor of pursuing careers and establishing a type of autonomy from male influence which had never been achieved before. Crittenden examines the conflict between the values instilled by this movement into the daughters of these women and the innate biological drive young women have to form emotional commitments and to parent children.
