The relationship between mothers and daughters and their political socialization is examined through a comparative study of two generations at an American women’s college. Focusing on the social and political experiences shaped by their backgrounds, the research explores how varied influences, including family and educational environments, contribute to the political beliefs and engagement of these women. The findings highlight significant consistencies and inconsistencies in the ways these two generations navigate their identities and political ideologies, providing insights into the role of gender and generational shifts in political socialization.
