From 1983 to 2002, Trouble and Strife: The Radical Feminist Magazine was a distinctive voice in British feminism. It was the longest-surviving completely independent feminist periodical published in this period and it combined the intellectual depth of an academic journal with the accessibility, topicality and visual appeal of commercial feminist magazines. This is a collection of the best and most enduring articles published in the magazine during its 20-year life. It offers a unique historical record of an important strand of radical feminist debate, enabling old readers to revisit it and new readers to discover it.

"This exemplary book covers the economic myths of motherhood through the stark testimonies of childcare hardships and financial inequality in marriage . . . A wonderful resource for students of economics, women's studies, politics . . . this book should be a wake-up call to America."—Kay Meredith Dusheck, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Library Journal

"Starts rhapsodically and rewards the reader with so many moments of love and laughter—Wounded is full of shocks and surprises."—Los Angeles Times

"Throughout the book, Faludi provides stunning and depressing evidence of a concerted effort to silence women and roll back women's rights in the wake of 9/11 and to transform the attack on a U.S. financial symbol where men and women worked side by side into an assault on family and hearth. She shows over and over again how some conservatives and right-wing media and bloggers have blamed the attack on a society feminized and emasculated by the women's movement."—Amy Wilentz, Los Angeles Times Book Review
