Huh?  Please read a little more carefully: 
	The one common experience was that none
	of these WOMEN felt they could use their mother as a model.  
	They had to turn to themselves and try to bring out their own 
	experience.  (emphasis added)

However, your point is well-made.  Certainly, my difficulty with 
identifying with my mother as a role model when I was younger has 
had a lot to do with my feelings about being a woman, and with having
to turn elsewhere to find positive feminine role models.
