In this fourth and final episode, the five women we have followed explain what it took to cause them to leave the Stay at Home Daughter movement and reminiscence on the aspects of the movement they miss and their thoughts on it now looking back in from the outside.

The Daughters is an audio documentary exploring the way the Stay at Home Daughter movement - the idea that daughters should never leave the covering of their fathers until and unless they are married - affected those who grew up in it, including in their relationships, careers, education choices, emotions, dress, and religious choices. The documentary is open to those affected by this movement - both positive and negative.
