  This study is an account of the war against women, the insidiously manipulated political and cultural backlash against the hard-won equality and independence which women achieved in the 1970s and 1980s. Using examples from all areas of public life (advertising, film, TV, fashion, politics), Faludi, in this revised edition for Britain and the rest of the world, presents a damning picture of the erosion of women's status at the end of the 20th century. The author has won the Pulitzer Prize for an article she wrote for the Wall Street Journal .

  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.
