Items related to Backlash: The Undeclared War Against Women
This study is an account of the "war" against women, the insidiously manipulated political and cultural backlash against the hard-won equality and independence which women achieved in the 1970s and 1980s. Using examples from all areas of public life (advertising, film, TV, fashion, politics), Faludi, in this revised edition for Britain and the rest of the world, presents a damning picture of the erosion of women's status at the end of the 20th century. The author has won the Pulitzer Prize for an article she wrote for the "Wall Street Journal".

Review:
"Faludi uses her dazzling investigative powers to zap the smug detractors of feminism, the hypocrites, backsliders, and antifeminists. The result is a rich and juicy read, informed by powerful logic and moral clarity" (Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed)
"Persuasive, fair, entertaining, wonderfully informed, diverting" (Fay Weldon Daily Mail)
"The backlash against women is real. This is the book we need to understand it, to struggle through the battle fatigue and to keep going" (Alice Walker)
"As ground-breaking in its own way as its two important predecessors, Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex and Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, Faludi's book is just as gripping" (Newsweek)
"Recommended as essential reading for both sexes" (Today)
