So angry

Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger

★Content introduction: This work breaks down prejudice, removes stigma, and vindicates women's anger.
Women's anger is often ostracized, obscured, and suppressed, with angry women often dismissed as hysterical or "madwomen." However, Rebecca asserts that women's just anger remains a powerful force for social change and progress. "So Unangry" explores the gendering of anger, reexamining mainstream culture's double standards for male and female anger. It also examines the unfair treatment women have endured in the United States and around the world since the 2016 US election and the #MeToo movement, as well as the rise of women's power. It explores the various forms of female anger, examines the responses, and analyzes the social psychology underlying them. Finally, it pierces the point: "Anger is real, legitimate, justified, and necessary." With brilliant prose, sharp perspective, and profound insights, the author presents a timely and significant piece of research, offering a glimpse into the history and undeniable power of female anger.

★Editor's recommendation: Women have invented a million ways to change the world, and the "madwoman in the attic" also has the power to transform society!
We are never told how unyielding, stubborn, and furious women have changed our history, shaped our present, guided our movements, and propelled our art. We should know this.
This work breaks down mainstream prejudices, destigmatizes women's anger, and redresses the meaning of women's anger. It chronicles the role of women, and particularly women's anger, in driving social change. It can be described as a "short history of women's anger," using anger as a lens to illuminate the living conditions of women throughout the United States and even globally.
A resounding manifesto for contemporary women, a guide to action that men should also read. Rebecca tells people that angry women are not alone, that anger is legitimate, justifiable, and necessary; she gives women the opportunity to hear others say they have experienced the same things and feel the same anger, allowing them to know that they too can speak out loudly.
A tribute to women's power and anger. Beginning with the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault incident, this book reveals the unfair treatment and existential difficulties faced by women before and after the #MeToo movement. It also chronicles the undeniable women behind every historical revolution, teaching us to cherish anger rather than suppress or confine it.

★Celebrity Recommendation: Since the French Revolution, a new wave of feminism has emerged almost every fifty years, each time bringing forth new voices that, with greater eloquence and force, raise the same legitimate demands for social justice and political equality. We are now in the midst of a new wave of feminism, and one of the most resounding voices is Rebecca Traister. Her new book, "So Unangry," draws on her own experiences and incorporates comprehensive research to reveal how the pent-up anger of women has been suppressed and imprisoned. It's the best book I've ever read on this topic. Highly recommended!
—Vivian Gornick
Rebecca Trest's quick thinking and powerful argument convinced me that women must reclaim the power of anger to usher in change in the 21st century. Let's be honest: we're all tired of feeling tired. It's time we weren't angry anymore.

The most prominent feminist voice in this country.

Hitting the mark… In her closing remarks, Traister reminds women not to write off their anger—even if things get better in the future, even if “you haven’t experienced injustice yourself…the sense of urgency will fade.”
—Publishers Weekly
While male expressions of anger are seen as "exciting and forthright" and "the lullaby of our nation," female expressions are seen as "the cacophony of fingernails on our national chalkboard," Traister asserts. In this stimulating new book, she explores the achievements of angry women throughout history, from Carrie Nation to Beyoncé to the girls of Parkland High School. Through the lens of female anger, she reexamines the 2016 US election, the Black Power movement, and the #MeToo movement (including her own story about Harvey Weinstein), citing research showing that cursing can help people endure pain more sustainably. This inspiring book couldn't be more timely.
--"figure"
Timely and captivating, Traister's blistering novel is sure to spark discussion and debate. Drawing on current trends, the author delves into the relationship between women and anger, both ancient and modern, and the consequences of expressing and suppressing women's anger. She exposes the double standard that often attributes negativity to women's anger, a standard that has long been used to silence and repress them.
——BOOKLIST
"It's So Good to Not Be Angry" is Traister's ode to female anger... a thoughtful and nuanced ode. Traister finds that the perception (and tolerance) of this anger changes depending on the content and target of a woman's anger, and argues that even when it's a righteous and legitimate emotion, women can still feel ashamed of their anger or be angered by the shame itself. In this light, she powerfully demonstrates why it's so important for women to own and harness their anger—any successful change depends on it.
