Nina TasslerRezensionen

Mostly rich, white women telling stories about lessons their privilidged daughters learned at private schools. A couple good essays — Whoopi’s Goldberg, etc.

I liked this book because the stories are genuine, and I could definitely relate to what a lot of the mothers were talking about. I took a few of them to heart, because I lost my mother at a very young age, and I wondered if these were things that she might have told me. Another thing that I liked was the differences in thoughts, and ideas. I would recommend this book to others.

In this case, you can judge a book by its cover. "What I Told My Daughter" is a compilation of short narratives by women leaders and what they told their daughters in response to their professional experiences OR as it may have affected their upbringing.
Within this work stories of gender equality, feminism, color blindness, the changing nature of family as more women lead them, and the importance of knowing one's inner compass while choosing opportunities and stations in life.
Some of the stories are ones to breeze through and others demonstrate so well how our daughters choose according to what they know or what we tell them is ok to try to know. There were a few gems in here, but maybe wait until it shows up at Costco, I'm guessing around Mother's Day.½
