Mother-daughter relationship is a main issue in women''s lives. Relationships with our own mother or daughter can reflect our selves, gender identities, and female status in the society. The focus of this thesis is the complicated and changeful characteristic of mother-daughter relationship. Writing intellectual autobiography, I try to express polyphony in human relationships and plots describing. In the process of narrating, the viewpoints of comprehending mother-daughter relationship had been moved constantly. The range that theories considered extended more and more, from triangle-relationship in a typical core family, to the whole clan''s original history and some role-play rules effected by social culture. Therefore, genogram was presented to show the overall picture. Meanwhile, the reconstruction of stories interacted with the new emotions, and that made retelling this relationship became an action which can actually change it in real life. At different stages of describing mother-daughter plots, mother-daughter relationship means quite different to us, even contradictory. It is important to respect each other''s subjectivity, and receive all frustrations and hostility hard to avoid in relationships since both mothers and daughters live in a patriarchy world.
