A probing, enlivened and fiercely well-informed investigation into the condition of contemporary feminism.
What has made women unhappy in the last decade? Faludi writes 'is not their equality' - which they don't yet have - but the rising pressure to halt, even worse, women's quest for that equality.
Susan Faludi won a Pulitzer prize for journalism when she worked on the Wall Street Journal, and is the author of Backlash: The Undeclared War Against Women, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award for non-fiction for 1992, remained on the New York Times bestseller list for six months, and was a worldwide bestseller, translated into ten languages.
