Discover the Penguin books that shaped us

Faludi uses her dazzling investigative powers to zap the smug detractors of feminism, the hypocrites, backsliders, and antifeminists. The result is a rich and juicy read, informed by powerful logic and moral clarity

Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed

Persuasive, fair, entertaining, wonderfully informed, diverting

The backlash against women is real. This is the book we need to understand it, to struggle through the battle fatigue and to keep going

As ground-breaking in its own way as its two important predecessors, Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex and Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, Faludi's book is just as gripping

Recommended as essential reading for both sexes

The Undeclared War Against Women

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.

A probing, enlivened and fiercely well-informed investigation into the condition of contemporary feminism.

Susan Faludi won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism in 1991, when she worked as a reporter on the Wall Street Journal. Backlash was published to world-wide acclaim in 1992. Harvard educated, she now lives in San Francisco.
