Having been blessed with wise, compassionate women for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, I am wondering if we are simply fortunate to have found each other or if we are somehow creating our own harmony. Social constructionism suggests that, unknowingly or with intention, our relationships are formed, maintained, and adjusted through our interactions with others, with experiences, with ideas. Starting from that concept, and looking through the lens of feminist philosophy, I am exploring the facets of successful female in-law relationships.
The particular focus is on one specific woman: the mid-law*. This woman occupies the middle position in a trio: a woman, her mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law. An initialized equation might look like this: mil: dil/mil: dil
My purpose is to create a journal to record my experiences and related thoughts as a mid-law. This project is related to research for a dissertation.
*mid-law is an acronym: Middle Intergenerational Dual-Linking A Woman
