Oldest Daughters: What to know if you are one or have ever been bossed around by one

"Birth order is a fact, not a fate"(TM)

Author Patricia Schudy realized this while interviewing more than 100 oldest daughters, siblings, and spouses about the role of first-born daughters within a family. She repeatedly heard, "I want to know I'm not the only one out there feeling this way."

The book shares personal stories and explores the possibilities for changing birth-order "fate." The author includes her own experiences along with the results of an online survey of several hundred random family members.

At the end of each of ten conversational-style chapters contributing psychologist Dr. Kristin Russell offers self-help suggestions for personal growth and transforming sibling and family relationships. Chicago artist Ann Marie Greenberg's book cover expresses the joy and the burdens of being an oldest daughter--willingly tethered to her family and forging her own path.

'Oldest Daughters: What to know if you are one or have ever been bossed around by one" provides a fresh perspective on family relationships and feminism.
