Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women
''Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women'' is a 1991 nonfiction book by Pulitzer Prize winner Susan Faludi, who argues for the existence of a media driven "backlash" against the feminist advances of the 1970s. Faludi argues that this backlash posits the women's liberation movement as the source of many of the problems alleged to be plaguing women in the late 1980s.
She also argues that many of these problems are illusory, constructed by the media without reliable evidence. According to Faludi, the backlash is also a historical trend, generally recurring when it appears that women have made substantial gains in their efforts to obtain equal rights. The book won the National Book Critics Circle Award for non-fiction in 1991.
A 15th anniversary edition (ISBN 0307345424) of the book was released in 2006.
==Summary==
''Backlash'' is Susan Faludi's 550 page analysis of social, economic and political inequities and resulting difficulties American women faced in the 1980s. The book was hailed as "the most vehement and unapologetic call to arms to issue from the feminist camp in many years",〔Eberstadt, Mary. "Wake Up, Little Susie." ''American Spectator'' 25.10 (1992): 30. ''Academic Search Premier''. Web. 22 Oct. 2014. p.〕 and "a rich compendium of fascinating information and an indictment of a system losing its grip..."〔Greene, Gayle, "The Empire Strikes Back, a review of ''Backlash: The Undeclared War against American Women''", ''Nation'', Vol. 254, No. 5, February 10, 1992, pp. 166ff.(5).〕 that "has already done much to ignite a revolutionary "national" consciousness".〔Phelan, Peggy. "Radical Democracy and the Woman Question" ''American Literary History'', Vol. 5, No. 4 (Winter, 1993) 750-763. p. 755〕 Published within a year of several other popular feminist writings – Naomi Wolf's "''The Beauty Myth''" (1990), Gloria Steinem's "''Revolution From Within''" (1992), and Marilyn French's "''The War Against Women''" (1992) – Faludi's book garnered front page attention in national newspapers and magazines, and interviews of its author on television and radio.〔Gibbs, N., and A. Blackman. "The War Against Feminism. (Cover Story)." ''Time'' 139.10 (1992): 50. ''Academic Search Premier''. Web. 24 Oct. 2014.〕 As a best-seller, ''Backlash'' rejuvenated feminist discussion in the media, and established Faludi as a leading spokesperson for women's issues in the 1990s.〔Gibbs, N., and J. McDowell. "How To Revive A Revolution. (Cover Story)." ''Time'' 139.10 (1992): 56. ''Academic Search Premier''. Web. 24 Oct. 2014.〕
