Description
Contrary to the popular belief that feminism has gained a foothold in the many disciplines of the academy, the essays collected in Theorizing Backlash argue that feminism is still actively resisted in mainstream academia.
Indeed, as feminist perspectives have been brought to bear on topics of traditional philosophical interest, many feminist thinkers have been confronted with scorn and marginilization.
Contributors to this volume consider the professional, philosophical, and personal backlashes against feminist thought, and reflect upon their ramifications.
The conclusion is that the disdain and irrational resentment of feminism, even in higher education, amounts to a backlash against progress.
