Gilmore Girls - The Truth About Emily Gilmore

Go to http://ro.co/take to get a membership starting at just $99 for your first month. ? Gilmore Girls is of course the story of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore both figuring out how to grow up into the people they want to be – but there’s a third Gilmore woman who provides a very different perspective to the show with her own biting wit: matriarch Emily Gilmore. Emily was constantly at war with daughter Lorelai, over everything from major life decisions to the minutiae of her outfits. She is uptight and close-minded, the total antithesis of the fun and free Lorelai, and she can often come across as suffocating and even straight up mean. But, if we take a closer look, we can begin to better understand why Emily behaved the way she did, and why her evolution was actually just as important as Lorelai and Rory’s.
