In order to save the family's social reputation, Elwood's sister takes him to the local sanatorium.

  • Faludi,+Susan+Backlash,+O+Contra
    Susan Faludi Tradução de MARIO FONDELLI década de 1980 deflagrou um implacá­ A vel contra-ataque às conquistas femini­ nas, que opera em dois níveis: convencer as mulheres de que seus sentimentos de angústia e insatisfação são resultado do excesso de in­ dependência, ao mesmo tempo que destrói gradativamente os mínimos avanços que as mulheres realizaram no trabalho, na política e em sua forma de pensar. Susan Faludi, prêmio Pulitzer de jornalis­ mo, nos mostra como a imprensa se ocupou em repercutir essas mensagens ao dar um cunho moralista às notícias e reportagens, e manipular estatísticas. Ela revela, também, como essa insidiosa guerra contra os direitos da mulher transformou-se em um fenômeno cultural que orientou e invadiu o cinema e a TV, as indústrias da moda e da beleza, a re­ tórica da Nova Direita, os discursos presiden­ ciais e a política antiaborto. Ao promover a idealização da mulher tra­ dicional, da mulher lipoescultural, cujo trono cativo ainda é o lar, os defensores do antife- minismo buscam fomentar a baixa auto-esti- ma da mulher, enfraquecendo com isso a sua luta pela igualdade de direitos. Com este livro, Susan Faludi procura desa­ fiar a tese central do contra-ataque: a de que o feminismo é o pior inimigo da mulher, e de que todas as conquistas alcançadas na verda­ de a prejudicam em vez de fortalecer. Ao fa­ zê-lo, Backlash nos oferece um oportuno e preocupante retrato da condição da mulher nos tempos atuais. A AUTORA SUSAN FALUDI é jornalista, tendo colabora­ do em publicações como o Wall Street Jour­ nal, San Jose Mercury News, West, Ms.
