| Description: |
The image of "backlash" is pervasive in contemporary debates about the impact of second-wave feminism on law and policy, but systematic research on the subject is lacking. This book addresses that gap and analyzes late 20th-century responses to feminism, and asks: to what extent does the concept of backlash explain reactions to feminism over time? |
| Synopsis: |
The image of "backlash" is pervasive in contemporarydebates about the impact of second-wave feminism on law and policy. Butdoes it really explain the resistance to feminist initiatives forsocial change in contemporary culture?In this timely volume, contributors from various disciplines analyzereaction and resistance to feminism in several areas of law and policy- child custody, child poverty, sexual harassment, and sexualassault - and in a number of institutional sites, such as courts,legislatures, families, the mainstream media, and the academy.Collectively, their studies paint a more complicated, oftencontradictory, picture of feminism, law, and social change than thepopular image of backlash suggests.Reaction and Resistance offers feminists and otheractivists empirically grounded knowledge that can be used to developlegal and political strategies for change. |
