1 Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women  Faludi, Susan

Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 3rd printing 1991 Crown. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight; jacket crisp. Only light wear. 552pp, Index, Notes. Language: English. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. 'Faludi, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Wall Street Journal , marshals in a sustained and excoriating 500-plus pages what many thoughtful women already know: it isn't that the goals of the feminist movement have failed, but that they have not yet been tried. Placing the current backlash against women squarely in a historical context (in the 19th century so-called experts told women that education would atrophy their wombs), she debunks the shoddy scholarship and half-truths that produced the myths we hear today: that women are fleeing the workplace to stay home and cocoon; that their chances of marrying diminish greatly if they don't marry young; that their lack of advancement is their own fault. She argues that women's anger and resentment are not due to their feminism, but occur because women have not yet been the beneficiaries of the justice, fairness, and equity they deserve. Along the way, Faludi demolishes the anti-feminist agendas of Robert Bly's wild men, Allan Bloom (Closing of the American Mind), and George Gilder (Sexual Suicide), among others. This is a most important book.'--GraceAnne A. DeCandido, Library Journal, 1991.

2 Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man Faludi, Susan
Very Good. 
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1999 Morrow. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; appears unread. Only a hint of wear to jacket. 662pp, Index, Notes. Language: English. NOTE: Large format-- cannot ship outside U.S. via Flat-Rate envelope; may require additional international postage. '[T]he author turns her attention to the masculinity crisis plaguing our culture at the end of the '90s, an era of massive layoffs, Angry White Male politics, and Million Man marches. As much as the culture wants to proclaim that men are made miserable--or brutal or violent or irresponsible--by their inner nature and their hormones, Faludi finds that even in the world they supposedly own and run, men are at the mercy of cultural forces that disfigure their lives and destroy their chance at happiness. As traditional masculinity continues to collapse, the once-valued male attributes of craft, loyalty, and social utility are no longer honored, much less rewarded. Faludi's journey through the modern masculine landscape takes her into the lives of individual men whose accounts reveal the heart of the male dilemma'.--from the publisher.
