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. 606 $aWomen$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aAnti-feminism$zUnited States 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States 615 0$aWomen$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aAnti-feminism 615 0$aConservatism 676 $a305.420973/090511 700 $aFinlay$b Barbara$0512995 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345136403321 996 $aGeorge W.
