We all know that the war against women is often waged by women, and even more often, takes place within the family itself. I have explored this theme in a Mother’s Day essay, which is featured today in MOTHERLODE, the popular NEW YORK TIMES blog that intelligently explores all aspects of parenting and family issues.

Please take a look. I’d love to hear readers’ comments, particularly from mothers and daughters.

Have a Happy Mother’s Day, ladies. I think we’ve all earned it.

As ever,
