Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know is a 2007 parenting book by Meg Meeker, MD, which provides guidance to fathers on raising their daughters. Meeker argues that "fathers, more than anyone else, set the course for a daughter's life.". She states that daughters need attention from their fathers, and she says that daughters take guidance on many issues, such as drug use, drinking, and sex from the example set by their father. She states that daughters need a father's role as a "hero" to help her to "navigate through a treacherous popular culture" that is "not healthy for girls and women".
Dr. Meeker articulates that fathers are far more powerful than many themselves believe. Dr. Meeker also states that daughters need the support that only fathers can provide – and if they are willing to follow Dr. Meeker's advice and experience on how to guide their daughters, to stand between them and a toxic culture, their rewards will be unmatched.
