Through myth, fairy tales, case studies, and Jungian psychology, best-selling author Maureen Murdock explores the unique relationship between a "father's daughter" and her father, its rewards and pitfalls, and how this idealized relationship affects the mother-daughter bond. This rich analysis examines Beauty and the Beast, Donkeyskin, The Wizard of Oz, King Lear, and The Handless Maiden to help empower the father's daughter to untangle the ties that bind her to her father and redeem a female vision that is powerful and nurturing.
