Backlash by Susan Faludi
"Backlash" is a critical examination of the societal, political, and cultural forces that aim to undermine the progress of women's rights in the late 20th century. The author presents a detailed analysis of the backlash against feminism, arguing that media, advertising, Hollywood, and the conservative political movement have all played a role in promoting regressive stereotypes about women and limiting their opportunities. The author also explores the negative impacts of this backlash on women's economic status, reproductive rights, and overall wellbeing.
