Description

First published in 1992, Backlash is a powerful critique of the media's portrayal of women and its impact on feminist progress. Faludi exposes the ways in which the media distorts feminist concepts to sell products, warping the idea of economic independence into a consumerist pursuit of self-improvement.

The book remains a timely and thought-provoking work, highlighting the ongoing struggles women face in achieving equality and reproductive rights. With passion and precision, Faludi argues that the creators of commercial culture continue to manipulate feminist ideals to sell products and control women's lives.

Backlash is a seminal work in the field of feminism, serving as an alarm bell for women of every generation. This edition features a new preface that underscores the enduring relevance of Faludi's critique, making it a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the ongoing struggle for women's rights and equality.
