In “I Stand Here Ironing” by Tille Olsen, Olsen tells the story of a woman’s guilt of how she raised her daughter. The assumption is that the blame is hers to be accepted. The concept of the entire story is the idea that all that happened to her daughter is inherently her fault. Besides the fact that she was young and had Emily at nineteen, she had no skills which gave her little capability of holding a job. She was insecure, unstable, and she was unexperienced in trying to fulfill the role of a mother at her age. Because of the neglectful actions she had acted on her daughter as a child, a wall has now grown between this mother and daughter. Emily now nineteen is the narrorator’s eldest child. Her father had left less than a year after she was born and to make it worse he left in the worst of the depression.
