Backlash argued that the 1980s saw a backlash against feminism, especially due to the spread of negative stereotypes against career-minded women. Faludi attempted to show that many who argue that "a women's place is at the home, looking after the kids" are hypocrites, since they (or their wives) are exactly like the women they are criticising. This work won her the National Book Critic's Circle Award in 1992. Feminism is a collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies largely motivated by or concerned with the liberation of women. ...

In Stiffed Faludi analyzes the American man. She argues that while many of those in power are men, most men have little power. American men have been brought up to be strong, support their families and work hard, she says. According to her, many men who followed this now find themselves underpaid or unemployed, disillusioned and abandoned by their wives. Changes in American society have affected both men and women, she concludes, and it is wrong to blame individual men for problems they did not cause and from which they suffer as much as women.
She won a Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism in 1991, for a report on the leveraged buy-out of Safeway Stores, Inc., a report that the Pulitzer Prize committee thought showed the "human costs of high finance".
