Phylon: The Clark Atlanta University Review of Race and Culture, v49 n3-4 p203-187 Fall--Win 2001
Investigated fathers' roles in the lives of successful black women using life history case studies. Fathers were proud of and confident in their daughters, and most performed the role of mentor. Fathers gave daughters a sense of security that helped them succeed because they were not afraid to risk failure. Most fathers were interested in furthering their daughter's education. (SM)
