This is a pitch perfect, engaging, and accessible credo written by one of today’s most influential feminists. Anger is not what gets in our way, it is our way. Because contrary to the endless barrage of self-help rhetoric about anger management and letting go, the reality is that our rage is the most important resource we have as women, a force for creation rather than destruction, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression. We are mad as hell, and that's completely okay. And when we somehow manage to put one high heel-battered foot in front of the other despite all of this, we're asked if it would kill us to smile. We are told to stand down when we have an opinion and to calm down when we are fired up. The assertive among us are labelled bitches, while the expressive among us are considered shrill. We are underpaid, overworked, thwarted and diminished. Women are angry, and it isn't hard to figure out why. After all, women have a lot to be angry about.' GLORIA STEINEM ' How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Soraya Chemaly's Rage Becomes Her will be good for women. A conversation-shifting book urging 21st-century women to understand their anger, embrace its power, and use it as a tool for positive change
