Description: This book is a groundbreaking examination of that long-ignored but crucial connection: Daddy and his daughter. It is the first to pull together the available research on "good" and "bad" fathers. Drawing on hundreds of interviews of women and fathers, leading researchers, and the latest studies, it is a pioneering exploration of how the father-daughter relationship sets the stage for a woman's future romantic choices, how it forms her sexuality and her sense of herself as a woman, and how it shapes our culture and even our governmental policies regarding women, children, and families.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [465]-469) and index.
