Sample text

The first and second backlashes,17 which provided the motivation for writing the essays collected here, had little trouble staging reprisals, because the counteroffensive took place against the backdrop of worldwide economic, political, and symbolic breakdown, starting with the first gesture of reparations toward women (the 1975 United Nations Conference on Women in Mexico City). The resurgence of religion preceded the rise of fundamentalism. As early as the mid-1970s, masculine protest and monotheistic paranoia grounded antifeminism in misogyny; antifeminism served to update the most archaic form of racism, just as today’s “new (male) feminists” oversee and promote women’s emancipation and, driving a wedge between mothers and daughters in a divide-and-conquer strategy, seek to take over the legacy of the women’s movement.

So we have another ten years, a final straight run up to the third millennium, to accomplish part of our historic task, that is, to transform the attempts we have made into definitive achievements, but also, and especially, to pass the reins on to our daughters. While all thinkers today, historians and politicians, biologists and philosophers, may agree that the most important of all the changes affecting our civilization on the eve of the third millennium is the irreversible transformation of the relations between men and women, far fewer are loyal enough to attribute such a mutation, the most radical since decolonization and the fall of the European empire, to the women’s movement.
