In this guide, Kitzinger brings her insights to bear on what it feels like to be a grandmother, and looks at the whole panoply of issues surrounding the institution of grandmotherhood. These include: looking at the grandmother role through a range of cultures; grandmothers as represented in fiction and history; family values in the 1990s; the effect of a new generation on existing family relations, specifically the mother-daughter relationship and grandmother-father relationships; and young grandmothers. She also offers a way of looking at the transition of becoming a grandmother and how it feels to the person herself.
