From the Trade Paperback edition. Editorial Reviews Amazon.c om Review A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Wall Street J ournal, Faludi lays out a two-fold thesis in this aggressive work : First, despite the opinions of pop-psychologists and the mainst ream media, career-minded women are generally not husband-starved loners on the verge of nervous breakdowns. Secondly, such belief s are nothing more than anti-feminist propaganda pumped out by co nservative research organizations with clear-cut ulterior motives . This backlash against the women's movement, she writes, stands the truth boldly on its head and proclaims that the very steps th at have elevated women's positions have actually led to their dow nfall. Meticulously researched, Faludi's contribution to this tum ultuous debate is monumental and it earned the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Pu blishers Weekly Far from being liberated, American women in the 1 980s were victims of a powerful backlash against the handful of s mall, hard-won victories the feminist movement had achieved, says Wall Street Journal reporter Faludi, who won a Pulitzer this yea r. Buttressing her argument with facts and statistics, she states that the alleged man shortage endangering women's chances of mar rying (posited by a Harvard-Yale study) and the infertility epide mic said to strike professional women who postpone childbearing a re largely media inventions.

From Library Journal Faludi, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for th e Wall Street Journal , marshals in a sustained and excoriating 5 00-plus pages what many thoughtful women already know: it isn't t hat the goals of the feminist movement have failed, but that they have not yet been tried. Placing the current backlash against wo men squarely in a historical context (in the 19th century so-call ed 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 gre atly if they don't marry young; that their lack of advancement is their own fault. She argues that women's anger and resentment ar e 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 agen das of Robert Bly's wild men, Allan Bloom ( Closing of the Americ an Mind , LJ 5/1/87), and George Gilder ( Sexual Suicide , LJ 8/7 3), among others. This is most important book. - GraceAnne A. DeC andido, School Library Journal Copyright 1991 Reed Business Infor mation, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Kirkus Reviews The Pulitzer-winning journalist (The Wall Street Journal, Ms., The Miami Herald) expl ores the real status of American women in the 90's in this powerf ul and long-overdue myth-buster--an instant classic and a valuabl e companion to Paula Kamen's Feminist Fatale (reviewed below). Co llege-educated women over 30 are more likely to be killed by a te rrorist than to marry. Working women enjoy their careers at the e xpense of their children's welfare. If you're female, you can't r eally have it all. So go the modern myths that were born in the 8 0's, despite the era's supposedly ``liberated'' image, and that h ave terrorized American women ever since. The trouble, claims Fal udi, is not only that the myths aren't true, but that through del iberate action or passive collusion the government, media, and po pular culture have ensured their overpowering influence on the pu blic. Her interest sparked by her discovery that the Harvard-Yale marriage-for-women-over-30 study was based on very shaky methodo logy, but that there was resistance in both the media and governm ent to correcting its conclusions, Faludi went on to uncover the unacknowledged but frighteningly widespread backlash against femi nism that has taken place under the surface of 80's careerism. Ta king the reader step by step through the creation of wildly anti- feminist 80's myths and backlashes in popular culture (Fatal Att raction, the ``New Traditionalism,'' the new ``feminine'' fashion s); in politics (reproductive rights, the female New Right); in p opular psychology (``to improve your marriage, change yourself'') ; in the workplace (lack of day care, parental leave, the wage ga p); and in health (white career women's supposed sterility vs. bl ack women's actual, unaddressed, sterility problem), Faludi convi ncingly peels back layers of deliberate and passive misrepresenta tion to reveal what she sees as the underlying message of the Rea gan-Bush era: Women's problems are a direct result of too much in dependence, and no one but feminists are to blame. Historically, backlashes have always followed feminist gains, Faludi points out ; the necessity is to see behind today's hip ``postfeminist'' apa thy to the injustices still being done. Brilliant reportage, with all the details in place--a stunning debut. -- Copyright ®1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

INTRODUCTION: BLAME IT ON FEMINISM To be a woman in America at the close of the 20th century--what good fortune. That's what we keep hearing, anyway. The barricades hav e fallen, politicians assure us. Women have made it, Madison Aven ue cheers. Women's fight for equality has largely been won, Time magazine announces. Enroll at any university, join any law firm, apply for credit at any bank. Women have so many opportunities no w, corporate leaders say, that we don't really need equal opportu nity policies. Women are so equal now, lawmakers say, that we no longer need an Equal Rights Amendment. Women have so much, former President Ronald Reagan says, that the White House no longer nee ds to appoint them to higher office. Even American Express ads ar e saluting a woman's freedom to charge it. At last, women have re ceived their full citizenship papers. And yet . . . Behind thi s celebration of the American woman's victory, behind the news, c heerfully and endlessly repeated, that the struggle for women's r ights is won, another message flashes. You may be free and equal now, it says to women, but you have never been more miserable. T his bulletin of despair is posted everywhere--at the newsstand, o n the TV set, at the movies, in advertisements and doctors' offic es and academic journals. Professional women are suffering burnou t and succumbing to an infertility epidemic. Single women are gri eving from a man shortage. The New York Times reports: Childless women are depressed and confused and their ranks are swelling. Ne wsweek says: Unwed women are hysterical and crumbling under a pro found crisis of confidence. The health advice manuals inform: Hig h-powered career women are stricken with unprecedented outbreaks of stress-induced disorders, hair loss, bad nerves, alcoholism, a nd even heart attacks. The psychology books advise: Independent w omen's loneliness represents a major mental health problem today. Even founding feminist Betty Friedan has been spreading the word : she warns that women now suffer from a new identity crisis and new 'problems that have no name.' How can American women be in s o much trouble at the same time that they are supposed to be so b lessed? If the status of women has never been higher, why is thei r emotional state so low? If women got what they asked for, what could possibly be the matter now? The prevailing wisdom of the p ast decade has supported one, and only one, answer to this riddle : it must be all that equality that's causing all that pain. Wome n are unhappy precisely because they are free. Women are enslaved by their own liberation. They have grabbed at the gold ring of i ndependence, only to miss the one ring that really matters. They have gained control of their fertility, only to destroy it. They have pursued their own professional dreams--and lost out on the g reatest female adventure. The women's movement, as we are told ti me and again, has proved women's own worst enemy. In dispensing its spoils, women's liberation has given my generation high incom es, our own cigarette, the option of single parenthood, rape cris is centers, personal lines of credit, free love, and female gynec ologists, Mona Charen, a young law student, writes in the Nationa l Review, in an article titled The Feminist Mistake. In return it has effectively robbed us of one thing upon which the happiness of most women rests--men. The National Review is a conservative p ublication, but such charges against the women's movement are not confined to its pages. Our generation was the human sacrifice to the women's movement, Los Angeles Times feature writer Elizabeth Mehren contends in a Time cover story. Baby-boom women like her, she says, have been duped by feminism: We believed the rhetoric. In Newsweek, writer Kay Ebeling dubs feminism The Great Experime nt That Failed and asserts women in my generation, its perpetrato rs, are the casualties. Even the beauty magazines are saying it: Harper's Bazaar accuses the women's movement of having lost us [w omen] ground instead of gaining it. In the last decade, publicat ions from the New York Times to Vanity Fair to the Nation have is sued a steady stream of indictments against the women's movement, with such headlines as when feminism failed or the awful truth a bout women's lib. They hold the campaign for women's equality res ponsible for nearly every woe besetting women, from mental depres sion to meager savings accounts, from teenage suicides to eating disorders to bad complexions. The Today show says women's liberat ion is to blame for bag ladies. A guest columnist in the Baltimor e Sun even proposes that feminists produced the rise in slasher m ovies. By making the violence of abortion more acceptable, the au thor reasons, women's rights activists made it all right to show graphic murders on screen. At the same time, other outlets of po pular culture have been forging the same connection: in Hollywood films, of which Fatal Attraction is only the most famous, emanci pated women with condominiums of their own slink wild-eyed betwee n bare walls, paying for their liberty with an empty bed, a barre n womb.

Hardcover. 2005. 256 pages.<br>As author Barry Gifford was writing these pieces, h e gradually came to realize that what he was creating was a geogr aphical fiction, or a geography of fictions. As Barry explains, E verybody has a story, no matter where they are in the world, and I conceived the device of The Ropedancer when I was in Veracruz, Mexico, at a hotel much like the Hotel Los Regalos de Dios, where the former funambulist, whom I call The Ropedancer, took up resi dence following the demise of the Dancing Ciegas, who plunged to their deaths from a high wire. Many of these stories are tragic, some humorous, but all told by individuals in the confessional m ode which is often the posture assumed by persons adrift in a for eign land and who find themselves not uncomfortably in conversati on late at night with a stranger. Editorial Reviews From Publis hers Weekly Gifford saw his novel Wild at Heart become the David Lynch film, and he co-wrote the screenplay for Lost Highway; this series of snappy vignettes has a cinematic quality, more like a treatment for an episodic film (à la Jim Jarmusch's Night on Eart h) than a collection of stories. Gifford repeatedly conjures the hard-luck story and the noirish setting as he points his lens fro m South America to New Zealand. After Hours at La Chinita, set in a tacky Spanish-style motel in Los Angeles circa 1963, stages th e shooting of a prostitute's abusive customer by God-fearing prop rietress Vermillion Chaney; 20 years later, each of the players i n the drama tells a version of the sad, late slide of the rest of their lives. Almost Oriental involves tortuous travel and romanc e inside a still-shuttered, deeply suspicious Romania by a Stanfo rd University academic on the trail of Bukovina-born Jewish write r Rudolph Buddy Traum. Another long piece, Murder at the Swordfis h Club, concerns an elaborate murder mystery surrounding the deat h of a fisherman in the New Zealand coastal town of Russell. The prolific Gifford has produced multiple fully realized novels (suc h as 2004's Wyoming); this book, while vivid, feels like a break. (Jan.) Copyright ® Reed Business Information, a division of Ree d Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist The prolific Gifford, whose novel Wild at Heart was adapted into the award-win ning 1990 David Lynch film, here renders visceral vignettes that often seem better suited to the big screen than to print. A tight rope walker introduces the collection, whose diverse locales incl ude New Zealand, Honduras, and France. There's a one-legged man w ho hangs himself over an unrequited, albeit incestuous, love: Eve n had he the use of both legs, they would not have saved him. Ins tead of walking across the rope he finished by dancing at the end of it. In the masterful After Hours at La Chinita, a prostitute, a celebrated supper--club singer, and a Bible-thumping motel cle rk recount details of a deadly shootout. In the title tale, a man sips beer in a Mexico City cantina once frequented by bullfighte rs as he reminisces about a Eurasian girlfriend with dove-shaped hands and heady perfume. Although Gifford's short stories are end lessly nervy (there's a brash, bearded lady and a lingerie salesm an who seduces women with his wares), his avid fans may find them selves longing for more substantive fare.

She argues that women's anger and resentment ar e 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 agen das of Robert Bly's wild men, Allan Bloom ( Closing of the Americ an Mind , LJ 5/1/87), and George Gilder ( Sexual Suicide , LJ 8/7 3), among others. This is most important book. - GraceAnne A.

From Kirkus Reviews The Pulitzer-winning journalist (The Wall Street Journal, Ms., The Miami Herald) expl ores the real status of American women in the 90's in this powerf ul and long-overdue myth-buster--an instant classic and a valuabl e companion to Paula Kamen's Feminist Fatale (reviewed below). Co llege-educated women over 30 are more likely to be killed by a te rrorist than to marry. Working women enjoy their careers at the e xpense of their children's welfare. If you're female, you can't r eally have it all. So go the modern myths that were born in the 8 0's, despite the era's supposedly ``liberated'' image, and that h ave terrorized American women ever since. The trouble, claims Fal udi, is not only that the myths aren't true, but that through del iberate action or passive collusion the government, media, and po pular culture have ensured their overpowering influence on the pu blic. Her interest sparked by her discovery that the Harvard-Yale marriage-for-women-over-30 study was based on very shaky methodo logy, but that there was resistance in both the media and governm ent to correcting its conclusions, Faludi went on to uncover the unacknowledged but frighteningly widespread backlash against femi nism that has taken place under the surface of 80's careerism. Ta king the reader step by step through the creation of wildly anti- feminist 80's myths and backlashes in popular culture (Fatal Att raction, the ``New Traditionalism,'' the new ``feminine'' fashion s); in politics (reproductive rights, the female New Right); in p opular psychology (``to improve your marriage, change yourself'') ; in the workplace (lack of day care, parental leave, the wage ga p); and in health (white career women's supposed sterility vs. bl ack women's actual, unaddressed, sterility problem), Faludi convi ncingly peels back layers of deliberate and passive misrepresenta tion to reveal what she sees as the underlying message of the Rea gan-Bush era: Women's problems are a direct result of too much in dependence, and no one but feminists are to blame. Historically, backlashes have always followed feminist gains, Faludi points out ; the necessity is to see behind today's hip ``postfeminist'' apa thy to the injustices still being done. Brilliant reportage, with all the details in place--a stunning debut. -- Copyright ®1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

INTRODUCTION: BLAME IT ON FEMINISM To be a woman in America at the close of the 20th century--what good fortune. That's what we keep hearing, anyway. The barricades hav e fallen, politicians assure us. Women have made it, Madison Aven ue cheers. Women's fight for equality has largely been won, Time magazine announces. Enroll at any university, join any law firm, apply for credit at any bank. Women have so many opportunities no w, corporate leaders say, that we don't really need equal opportu nity policies. Women are so equal now, lawmakers say, that we no longer need an Equal Rights Amendment. Women have so much, former President Ronald Reagan says, that the White House no longer nee ds to appoint them to higher office. Even American Express ads ar e saluting a woman's freedom to charge it. At last, women have re ceived their full citizenship papers. And yet . . . Behind thi s celebration of the American woman's victory, behind the news, c heerfully and endlessly repeated, that the struggle for women's r ights is won, another message flashes. You may be free and equal now, it says to women, but you have never been more miserable. T his bulletin of despair is posted everywhere--at the newsstand, o n the TV set, at the movies, in advertisements and doctors' offic es and academic journals. Professional women are suffering burnou t and succumbing to an infertility epidemic. Single women are gri eving from a man shortage. The New York Times reports: Childless women are depressed and confused and their ranks are swelling. Ne wsweek says: Unwed women are hysterical and crumbling under a pro found crisis of confidence. The health advice manuals inform: Hig h-powered career women are stricken with unprecedented outbreaks of stress-induced disorders, hair loss, bad nerves, alcoholism, a nd even heart attacks. The psychology books advise: Independent w omen's loneliness represents a major mental health problem today. Even founding feminist Betty Friedan has been spreading the word : she warns that women now suffer from a new identity crisis and new 'problems that have no name.' How can American women be in s o much trouble at the same time that they are supposed to be so b lessed? If the status of women has never been higher, why is thei r emotional state so low? If women got what they asked for, what could possibly be the matter now? The prevailing wisdom of the p ast decade has supported one, and only one, answer to this riddle : it must be all that equality that's causing all that pain. Wome n are unhappy precisely because they are free. Women are enslaved by their own liberation. They have grabbed at the gold ring of i ndependence, only to miss the one ring that really matters. They have gained control of their fertility, only to destroy it. They have pursued their own professional dreams--and lost out on the g reatest female adventure. The women's movement, as we are told ti me and again, has proved women's own worst enemy. In dispensing its spoils, women's liberation has given my generation high incom es, our own cigarette, the option of single parenthood, rape cris is centers, personal lines of credit, free love, and female gynec ologists, Mona Charen, a young law student, writes in the Nationa l Review, in an article titled The Feminist Mistake. In return it has effectively robbed us of one thing upon which the happiness of most women rests--men. The National Review is a conservative p ublication, but such charges against the women's movement are not confined to its pages. Our generation was the human sacrifice to the women's movement, Los Angeles Times feature writer Elizabeth Mehren contends in a Time cover story. Baby-boom women like her, she says, have been duped by feminism: We believed the rhetoric. In Newsweek, writer Kay Ebeling dubs feminism The Great Experime nt That Failed and asserts women in my generation, its perpetrato rs, are the casualties. Even the beauty magazines are saying it: Harper's Bazaar accuses the women's movement of having lost us [w omen] ground instead of gaining it. In the last decade, publicat ions from the New York Times to Vanity Fair to the Nation have is sued a steady stream of indictments against the women's movement, with such headlines as when feminism failed or the awful truth a bout women's lib. They hold the campaign for women's equality res ponsible for nearly every woe besetting women, from mental depres sion to meager savings accounts, from teenage suicides to eating disorders to bad complexions. The Today show says women's liberat ion is to blame for bag ladies. A guest columnist in the Baltimor e Sun even proposes that feminists produced the rise in slasher m ovies. By making the violence of abortion more acceptable, the au thor reasons, women's rights activists made it all right to show graphic murders on screen. At the same time, other outlets of po pular culture have been forging the same connection: in Hollywood films, of which Fatal Attraction is only the most famous, emanci pated women with condominiums of their own slink wild-eyed betwee n bare walls, paying for their liberty with an empty bed, a barre n womb.

Hardcover. 2005. 256 pages.<br>As author Barry Gifford was writing these pieces, h e gradually came to realize that what he was creating was a geogr aphical fiction, or a geography of fictions. As Barry explains, E verybody has a story, no matter where they are in the world, and I conceived the device of The Ropedancer when I was in Veracruz, Mexico, at a hotel much like the Hotel Los Regalos de Dios, where the former funambulist, whom I call The Ropedancer, took up resi dence following the demise of the Dancing Ciegas, who plunged to their deaths from a high wire. Many of these stories are tragic, some humorous, but all told by individuals in the confessional m ode which is often the posture assumed by persons adrift in a for eign land and who find themselves not uncomfortably in conversati on late at night with a stranger. Editorial Reviews From Publis hers Weekly Gifford saw his novel Wild at Heart become the David Lynch film, and he co-wrote the screenplay for Lost Highway; this series of snappy vignettes has a cinematic quality, more like a treatment for an episodic film (à la Jim Jarmusch's Night on Eart h) than a collection of stories. Gifford repeatedly conjures the hard-luck story and the noirish setting as he points his lens fro m South America to New Zealand. After Hours at La Chinita, set in a tacky Spanish-style motel in Los Angeles circa 1963, stages th e shooting of a prostitute's abusive customer by God-fearing prop rietress Vermillion Chaney; 20 years later, each of the players i n the drama tells a version of the sad, late slide of the rest of their lives. Almost Oriental involves tortuous travel and romanc e inside a still-shuttered, deeply suspicious Romania by a Stanfo rd University academic on the trail of Bukovina-born Jewish write r Rudolph Buddy Traum. Another long piece, Murder at the Swordfis h Club, concerns an elaborate murder mystery surrounding the deat h of a fisherman in the New Zealand coastal town of Russell. The prolific Gifford has produced multiple fully realized novels (suc h as 2004's Wyoming); this book, while vivid, feels like a break. (Jan.) Copyright ® Reed Business Information, a division of Ree d Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist The prolific Gifford, whose novel Wild at Heart was adapted into the award-win ning 1990 David Lynch film, here renders visceral vignettes that often seem better suited to the big screen than to print. A tight rope walker introduces the collection, whose diverse locales incl ude New Zealand, Honduras, and France. There's a one-legged man w ho hangs himself over an unrequited, albeit incestuous, love: Eve n had he the use of both legs, they would not have saved him. Ins tead of walking across the rope he finished by dancing at the end of it. In the masterful After Hours at La Chinita, a prostitute, a celebrated supper--club singer, and a Bible-thumping motel cle rk recount details of a deadly shootout. In the title tale, a man sips beer in a Mexico City cantina once frequented by bullfighte rs as he reminisces about a Eurasian girlfriend with dove-shaped hands and heady perfume. Although Gifford's short stories are end lessly nervy (there's a brash, bearded lady and a lingerie salesm an who seduces women with his wares), his avid fans may find them selves longing for more substantive fare.

But how- in the space of a short holiday- can the visitor discover the best of these walks: not merely the familiar, the close at hand, the favourite of an acquaintance, but the best? Frank Duerden, who has known, loved, and walked in the Lake District since his school days, has produced an indispensable book which describes the forty best walks that the National Park has to offer. They are carefully chosen to give the widest possible variety: ranging from short, easy strolls to long, hard fell-walks so as to cater for both the occasional and the experienced walker, and drawn from all parts of the Lake District so as to include its loveliest and most interesting areas. The walks, usually circular for convenience, are arranged in order of increasing difficulty so that the reader can judge which will best suit him or her. Each walk has a comprehensive route description supported by exceptionally detailed maps specially drawn for this guide; and many features of interest, both natural and man-made, are passed along the way. The book includes information about transport and accommodation within the Park, and has sections on farming, forestry, place-names and Lakeland climbing. In an Appendix, the author also lists walks of special interest- for the disabled, orienteers, nature-lovers and long-distance walkers.
