Abstract

At any moment, a time comes where young women see their mothers outside of their motherly presence. Viewing them as a person beyond what they have done and accomplished beyond their offspring. What could be worse is the young woman sees and considers the realities and decisions her mother - this woman - has made and disagrees with them. It is a difficult place to be, in a position as a young woman and seeing the future laid before you embodied in the mother figure. The daughter can choose to push back and turn against the mother’s role and the woman she knows her mother to be; in order to terminate this prophesied future. Yet, there is promise if the daughter is somehow able to toss this image of the future aside, along with her ego to embrace her mother as a woman and not as an embodiment of the fear of an unknowable future.
