Perfect Women: Daughters Who Love Their Mothers But Don't Love Themselves

Colette Dowling. Pocket Books, $4.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-69162-2

PW described the study as ``superficial,'' noting, ``the reader longs for longer, more penetrating interviews, even if fewer bases were touched in the process.'' (Oct.)
