- Book Synopsis
- A TRANSFORMATIVE BOOK URGING WOMEN TO EMBRACE AND HARNESS THEIR ANGER FOR LASTING CHANGE 'How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Rage Becomes Her will be good for women. After all, women have a lot to be angry about' Gloria Steinem Women are angry, and it isn't hard to figure out why. We are underpaid and overworked. Too bossy or too docile. Too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Too big or too thin. Sluts or prudes. We are harassed, told we are asking for it and asked whether it would kill us to smile. We've been told for too long to bottle up our anger. But our rage is the most important resource we have, our sharpest tool against oppression. Anger is not what gets in our way, it is our way. It is a vital instrument, a radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. All we need to do is own it. 'If life as a modern woman is maddening, then Rage is a sanity-restorer' Guardian 'Men should read [this] book and the women in their lives must insist that they do so' New York Journal of Books
