This book takes a devastating look at the actions and policies of
the George W. Bush administration in terms of their impact on women
in the United States and abroad. Surprisingly, this is a largely
ignored aspect of Bush's presidency, even though his policies have
in many ways reversed or inhibited women's progress over the past
three decades. While the media have focused on his opposition to
abortion, Bush's less-publicized anti-feminist agenda has in fact
been much more extensive. He has opposed women's interests in
multiple ways, from shutting down women's offices in the government
to de-funding programs that assist women, from opposing global
women's rights treaties to supporting anti-feminist organizations.
Contrary to his public claims that 'W stands for Women,' his
policies, appointments and actions reveal a strongly patriarchal
bent. This book also includes a chapter on the negative effects on
women of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
