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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs 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.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the National Book Critics Circle award for nonfiction, this controversial, thought-provoking, and timely book is \"as groundbreaking as Simone de Beauvoir's The \"Second Sex and Betty Friedan's \"The Feminine Mystique.\" -- \"Newsweek. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Faludi\u003c\/b\u003e won the Pulitzer Prize in 1991 for excellence in journalism and won the National Book Critics Circle's nonfiction award for \u003ci\u003eBacklash\u003c\/i\u003e upon its original publication.
