Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

By Amy Chua

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Parenting & Relationships

Yale law professor Amy Chua describes raising her two daughters with strict, demanding methods she associates with Chinese parenting. She recounts long hours of piano and violin practice, bans on sleepovers and play dates, and high expectations for school. The memoir also follows the conflicts that grew with her younger daughter's rebellion, and Chua's gradual rethinking of her approach, told with self-mocking humor.
