Surprisingly, this is a largely ignored aspect of Bush's presidency, even though his policies have in many ways reversed women's progress over the past three decades. While the media has focused on his opposition to abortion. Bush's less-publicized anti-feminist agenda has 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 programmes that assist women, from opposing global women's rights treaties to supporting anti-feminist organizations."--Jacket.WomenGovernment policyUnited StatesWomenUnited StatesSocial conditions20th centuryAnti-feminismUnited StatesConservatismUnited StatesGender studies: womenbicsscElectronic books.WomenGovernment policyWomenSocial conditionsAnti-feminismConservatismGender studies: women305.420973/090511Finlay Barbara512995OCLCECaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910345136403321George W.
