The 'feminine' Woman Is Forever Static And Childlike. She Is Like The Ballerina In An Old-fashioned Music Box, Her Unchanging Features Tiny And Girlish, Her Voice Tinkly, Her Body Stuck On A Pin, Rotating In A Spiral That Will Never Grow.

The Backlash Against Women's Rights Would Be Just One Of Several Powerful Forces Creating A Harsh And Painful Climate For Women At Work. Reagonomics, The Recession, And The Expansion Of A Minimum-wage Service Economy Also Helped, In No Small Measure, To Slow And Even Undermine Women's Momentum In The Job Market. But The Backlash Did More Than Impede Women's Opportunities For Employment, Promotions, And Better Pay. Its Spokesmen Kept The News Of Many Of These Setbacks From Women. Not Only Did The Backlash Do Grievous Damage To Working Women C It Did On The Sly.
