Summary:
"From Rebecca Traister, the New York Times bestselling author of All the Single Ladies--whom Anne Lamott called "the most brilliant voice on feminism in this country"--comes a vital, incisive exploration into the transformative
power
of female
anger
and its ability to transcend into a political movement. In the year 2018, it seems as if
women
's
anger
has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before Pantsuit Nation, before the
Women
's March, and before the #MeToo movement,
women
's
anger
was not only politically catalytic--but politically problematic. The story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates the long history of bitter resentment that has enshrouded
women
's slow rise to political
power
in America, as well as the ways that
anger
is received when it comes from
women
as opposed to when it comes from men. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female
anger
as political fuel--from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Here Traister explores
women
's
anger
at both men and other
women
;
anger
between ideological allies and foes; the varied ways
anger
is perceived based on its owner; as well as the history of caricaturing and delegitimizing female
anger
; and the way
women
's collective fury has become transformative political fuel--as is most certainly occurring today. She deconstructs society's (and the media'
s
) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of their resulting repercussions. Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against
women
by all sexes, and its disastrous, stultifying effect, Traister's latest is timely and crucial. It offers a glimpse into the galvanizing force of
women
's collective
anger
, which, when harnessed, can change history."--From publisher.
