Dr. Meg Meeker, the author of "Robust Fathers, Strong Daughters," believes her father to be a strong influence in her life. Since through her own medical practice she has seen many teens in hassle, she has concluded that a father isn't solely an necessary force in his daughter's life but also he shapes her life.
This book maintains the argument that, for a girl to mature into a self-assured, well-adjusted, and happy girl, a sturdy, nurturing father may be a must. The existence of a sturdy father during a woman's life may be a foolproof protection from social failure, misery, drugs and alcohol, academic failure, eating disorders, and teen pregnancy, while being a catalyst for a rewarding emotional life, successful relationships, personal health and grooming, and academic achievement.
The writer addresses the fathers in second person--you, and tells them they, the fathers, solely will offer the support needed by backing up their daughters and standing between them and the threats that come from the surface world. The bond between a father and daughter is almost holy, and within the chapter "Teach Her Who God Is," the writer says, "When you study your sleeping daughter, you're confronted with a religious reality that you cannot deny. From the moment she was born, you sensed the awesomeness of her life, the actual fact that there is one thing mysterious and transcendent about it, that she goes beyond you and your spouse. A person will banter with his friends and colleagues about whether God exists. But a father looks at his daughter and knows."
The book has ten chapters with an introduction, afterword, acknowledgements, bibliography, notes, and index. The chapters in the book are:
* You Are the Most Important Man in Her Life

* Teach Her Humility

Reading this book, I felt what Dr. Meeker is trying to try to to isn't against the feminist objective, but for it. Though her views could seem conservative at times, her goal is raising self-assured, happy girls, and I can't suppose of anybody not wanting that.
