REFINERY 29 * "In a year when issues of gender and sexuality
dominated the national conversation, no one shaped that exchange
more than Rebecca Traister. Her wise and provocative columns helped
make sense of a cultural transformation."-National Magazine Award
Citation, 2018 "The most brilliant voice on feminism in this
country."-Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird From Rebecca
Traister, the New York Times bestselling author of All the Single
Ladies 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 marching on 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.
