Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America

Susan Faludi provides an unexpected assessment of the post-September 11th era in The Terror Dream. Using the lens of gender relations, Ms. Faludi argues that Americans sought comfort in fables of female peril and of rescue at the hands of macho vigilantes, while feminist views were dismissed as unpatriotic.
