About this listen

On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women, and the patriarchy

In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive.

Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion?

As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.

Daddy Issues by Katherine Angel

Is a pop culture review.

This is the second book I have read by Angel and I must say I must learn that I don’t like her writing or insights. It is very much just taking pop culture films and books to prove a point. But instead of adding anything it’s just a film synopsis, with no really added value.

It may be good as a lecture or a commentary but as a book it’s lacking.

This book specifically was meant to be about fathers and the complex relationship with daughters. However, there was more talk about mothers and parents in general than fathers which was disappointing.

At one point I thought, okay so Angel is seeming to infer that the incestuous relationship between a father and daughter is the result of the mother not loving the daughter enough.

This book is fine for those that want a film review with passing insight of a couch buddy.
