Contending that the anti-feminist backlash in the academy is part of the broader "politically correct" rhetoric, this collection of writers, academics and activists is a much-needed response to the assault on feminist thinkers and critics in the academy today.

...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.

1.0 out of 5 stars
This is a lousy piece of non-sense.,
This review is from: Anti-feminism in the Academy (Paperback)
Don't buy this book. It's just another feminist propaganda piece blowing its lesbian-gay horn with non-sense that nobody cares about. Boo hoo for them! "Life is not fair." Boo hoo!
No wonder this book only has one favorable review. It's garbage. What a waste of paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read for professors-to-be,
By Michael I. Arrington (University of South Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anti-feminism in the Academy (Paperback)
This book is a worthwhile read because it clearly and convincingly documents covert and overt attempts to silence feminist voices on college campuses. The book reveals the presence of Antifeminist Intellectual Harassment in the history of feminist activism, campus politics, and academic sites of power. This unambiguous, engaging text presents a history of the feminist and antifeminist movements and places them within the context of the university. For this valuable insight into academic life, the editors and chapter authors deserve abundant acclaim.
