This seminal work of non-fiction, Backlash, uncovers the pervasive societal and media campaign that sought to undermine the gains of the women's movement. It argues that during the 1980s, a powerful cultural counter-revolution emerged, subtly yet effectively eroding women's rights and aspirations. The author presents a meticulously researched account, detailing how popular culture, politics, and advertising conspired to portray feminism as the source of women's unhappiness. With incisive analysis, the text illustrates the mechanisms through which this undeclared war against American women was waged, challenging prevailing narratives about female liberation. This compelling critique remains a vital examination of gender politics and media manipulation, offering profound insights into the ongoing struggle for equality.
