...daughters. Some of this experience has gone into Woman at Home (Doubleday; $6.95). Like the housewives she often speaks to and for, she is no antifeminist, but she objects sharply to the rhetoric of the women's movement-at least in its more extreme forms. It has done considerable harm, she feels, by lumping housework and child care together and dismissing them as something that women must escape in order to achieve "selfhood."

Whether or not last week's vote reflected an antifeminist backlash, both sides agreed that it dimmed hopes for passage of the federal Equal Rights Amendment by the March 1979 deadline.

(It was missing from most bestseller lists because it was sold mainly in small-town shops and bookstores unpolled by the list makers...
...graduates quit their jobs unless the extra income is essential. "There are sufficient men to be Presidents and not nearly enough women to be good mothers," she declares. But whatever the movement owes to the anxieties raised by women's lib, Andelin insists she is not antifeminist. She is simply concerned with making traditional marriage work. "I was even surprised when women's lib came on the scene," she says, "I thought Fascinating Womanhood was what all women were waiting...
