It's part social commentary, part survival guide for daughters, and 100% written while I was probably carrying a refrigerator up some stairs alone.  Firstborn Daughters, we've got it.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Katherine Ryan was born fuming, nine months after her parents' wedding, and has been in charge ever since. In this hilarious, whip-smart memoir, she diagnoses herself - and probably you - with 'Firstborn Daughter Syndrome': the widely unrecognized condition that turns women into over-functioning, over-achieving, over-it planners of everyone else's lives. Equal parts stand-up set and group therapy session, Firstborn Daughter runs through motherhood, marriage, fame, beauty, and a very long list of famous women (Beyoncé, Oprah, Hillary Clinton) who never had a choice either. You'll laugh. You'll recognize your group chat. You'll finally feel diagnosed.  Praise for The Audacity:'Brilliant!'
