{"product_id":"faludi-susan-backlash-9780307345424","title":"Backlash","description":"A new edition of the feminist classic, with an all-new introduction exploring the role of backlash in the 2016 election and laying out a path forward for 2020 and beyond Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award • \"Enraging, enlightening, and invigorating, Backlash is, most of all, true.\"-Newsday First published in 1991, Backlash made headlines and became a bestselling classic for its thoroughgoing debunking of a decadelong antifeminist backlash against women's advances. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Susan Faludi brilliantly deconstructed the reigning myths about the \"costs\" of women's independence-from the supposed \"man shortage\" to the \"infertility epidemic\" to \"career burnout\" to \"toxic day care\"-and traced their circulation from Reagan-era politics through the echo chambers of mass media, advertising, and popular culture. As Faludi writes in a new preface for this edition, much has changed in the intervening years: The Internet has given voice to a new generation of feminists. Corporations list \"gender equality\" among their core values. In 2019, a record number of women entered Congress. Yet the glass ceiling is still unshattered, women are still punished for wanting to succeed, and reproductive rights are hanging by a thread. This startling and essential book helps explain why women's freedoms are still so demonized and threatened-and urges us to choose a different future.","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53660018377046,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780307345424_1_2efe4593-1da7-4160-aa60-eddb70565019.jpg?v=1778768453","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/faludi-susan-backlash-9780307345424","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
