Backlash
The Undeclared War Against American Women
Book • 1991
In 'Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women', Susan Faludi presents a detailed examination of the backlash against feminist gains of the 1970s.
The book argues that this backlash, fueled by media, politics, and popular culture, blames the women's liberation movement for various problems faced by American women in the late 1980s.
Faludi identifies and debunks myths such as the 'infertility epidemic' and the 'man shortage', showing how these myths were constructed and disseminated to undermine feminist progress.
The book also explores historical trends of backlash following significant feminist advancements and its ongoing impact on women's rights and equality.
