When we talk about tiger women in China, we understand them to be thus, domineering and snarling-ly relentless.Īll timid husbands married to such women understand what I’m saying. Tigers being the king of the mountain, tiger women are so likened because they share similar dominating traits with the big cat. This may have to do with the fact that in China, fierce and tenacious middle-aged women are sometimes called tigers – or tigresses, to be exact. I guess the question is why “tiger” mom instead of, say, a sheep mom or a dog mom. Tiger mom seems to be quite well explained in the above. The phrase was first coined in the book “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” a 2011 parenting memoir written by Yale law professor Amy Chua. The phrase “tiger mom” is defined as a strict disciplinarian mother who demands high achievement from her children and maintains control of their activities.
