Good daughtering

Book - 2026
In this work, Allison M. Alford examines the social and emotional responsibilities often assumed by adult daughters within families. Drawing on research in family communication and interviews with women, the author explores the concept she describes as "daughtering," referring to the largely invisible emotional and practical labor daughters may undertake in maintaining family relationships and supporting parents. The book discusses how cultural expectations, gender roles, and generational dynamics influence the experiences of daughters as they navigate adulthood, caregiving, and family obligations. It also considers strategies for recognizing and addressing these expectations while fostering healthier family relationships and personal well-being.
