Contending that the anti-feminist backlash in the academy is part of the broader "politically correct" rhetoric, Shirley Nelson Garner, Veve A. Clark and and Margaret R. Higonnet have gathered together a collection of writers, academics and activists to challenge the rising tide of insults and insinuation and spoken violence in academia. With the classroom's climate increasingly chilly for women, "Antifeminism in the Academia" is a much-needed response to the assault on feminist thinkers, critics and academics.
Offering a spirited response to the wave of tenure disputes, departmental fights and flights, the contributors examine the imaginary construction of feminist "threats" by those seeking to undermine and denigrate the role of women in the academy. The contributors explore possible reponses, actions and remedies, as well as carefully exploring the roots of the backlash against women. Full of resourceful guidance for department chairs, faculty, students and the general reader, "Antifeminism in the Academy" is a combative tool against the onslaught of anti-feminist harrassment.
Contributors: Dale Baner, Mary Wilson Carpenter, Moira Ferguson, Greta Gaard, Shirley Nelson Garner, Elaine Ginsberg, Ketu H. Katrak, Annette Kolodny, Sara Lennox, Valerie Miner, Patricia Williams.

...""Antifeminism in the Academy not only provides a careful look at the backlash against the success of Women's Studies and the progress of women in academia, but also suggests effective responses."-"NWSA Journal
