Susan Faludi Biography

Susan Faludi is an American feminist journalist known for influential works on gender, feminism, and societal dynamics. Her critically acclaimed book, published in 1991, “Backlash: The Undeclared War against American Women,” became a feminist classic, arguing that the 1980s saw a cultural and political pushback against feminist gains.

A native of Queens, Faludi grew up Jewish and graduated from Harvard University. Her work consistently examines power structures, gender roles, and the media’s influence on the Zeitgeist. 

Faludi’s other major works include “Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man” (1999), which explores how economic and cultural shifts have marginalized men, and “The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America” (2007), which analyzes how 9/11 reshaped American gender narratives. Her 2016 memoir, “In the Darkroom”, delves into her complex relationship with her father, who underwent gender reassignment late in life, earning praise for its candid and visceral insights.
