Description:
Feminist Susan Faludi writes that during the 1980s and early 1990s American culture reacted to the progress of the feminist movement with a vengeance. This "undeclared war against American woman" was exemplified by the popular idea that women had moved from having too few options to having an overabundance. From movies to the workplace, women were bombarded with the message that no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to attain it all. Faludi argues that data on working women and motherhood in the previous decade had been purposefully skewed. In Backlash she masterfully disarms the attackers, then translates popular "facts," and lays the groundwork for the dawning of a new age of feminism.
