Abstract
This qualitative study examines the ways Indian and Pakistani immigrant women negotiate femininity across two generations in the United States. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 participants (10 mother-daughter dyads, representing two generations with age ranges 45-54 and 19-26, respectively). Data were analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. Findings show that immigrant mothers negotiate femininity by giving up on certain cultural values and practices to thrive in the United States. Whereas, the daughters negotiate femininity by forging cultural identities as they juggle different norms and expectations. The findings of this study have implications for informing therapy, relationship building activities, and creating inclusive social environments for immigrant women in the United States. © 2024 American Psychological Association
