I’ve reported on Amy Chua—whose 2011 book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother catapulted her to national fame—and her role at Yale Law School, so I feel I have a pretty good understanding of the dynamic the Vances must have encountered from 2010 to 2013 when they were attending the law school.

“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” a memoir published in 2011, launched an extended debate over parenting as she described her admittedly harsh approach to raising her two daughters.

Some viewers will undoubtedly want Evelyn to go through a greater conversion, to transform from tiger mother to cool American mom.

And maybe she’d blanch if anyone dared call her a “tiger mom,” a term popularized by Amy Chua’s 2011 memoir, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” and disavowed by many as offensive.

Then again, if she’s anything like my mom, maybe she embraces the “tiger mother” label and wears it proudly.
