Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
by Amy Chua

Amy Chua with her daughters Lulu and Sophia, New Haven, Connecticut, 2011

Amy Chua is a law professor at Yale University, with two daughters whom she has raised with firmness, to say the least. That her account of some of her views and practices—standing over them at the piano for hours at a time, rejecting ill-done Mother's Day cards or careless essays, requiring A report cards—horrified some of the wide audience for her book shouldn't surprise. Did anyone ever admire the way other parents bring up their kids? There's scarcely a subject more fraught with reproach and scrutiny, more fertile for theories, than parenting, and motherhood in particular.
