Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women: the undeclared war against American women

The Story

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle award for nonfiction, this controversial, thought-provoking, and timely book is 'as groundbreaking as Simone de Beauvoir's The 'Second Sex' and Betty Friedan's 'The Feminine Mystique.'' -- 'Newsweek.' 'The backlash against women is real. This is the book we need to help us understand it, to struggle through the battle fatigue, and to keep going.' -- Alice Walker. 'Withering commentary... This eloquent, brilliantly argued book should be read by everyone concerned with gender equality.' -- 'Publishers Weekly.' 'Backlash is the right book at exactly the right time... This trenchant, passoinate, and lively book should be an eye-opener even for feminists who thought they understood what has been going on.' -- 'Los Angeles Times Book Review'
