Journalist Rebecca Traister’s New York
Times bestselling exploration of the transformative power of
female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement
is “a hopeful, maddening compendium of righteous feminine
anger, and the good it can do when wielded efficiently—and
collectively” (Vanity Fair). 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 its crucial role in 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.
“Urgent, enlightened…realistic and compelling…Traister
eloquently highlights the challenge of blaming not just forces and
systems, but individuals” (The Washington Post). In Good
and Mad, Traister 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. Traister explores women’s anger
at both men and other women; anger between ideological allies and
foes; the varied ways anger is received based on who’s expressing
it; and the way women’s collective fury has become transformative
political fuel. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s)
condemnation of female emotion (especially rage) and the impact of
their resulting repercussions. Highlighting a double standard
perpetuated against women by all sexes, and its disastrous,
stultifying effect, Good and Mad is “perfectly timed
and inspiring” (People, Book of the Week). This “admirably
rousing narrative” (The Atlantic) offers a glimpse into the
galvanizing force of women’s collective anger, which, when
harnessed, can change history.
