To Grasp Female Fury Story, Skim “Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger”

Story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates the long history of bitter resentment that 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.

The book “Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger” recounts fresh events, but Traister’s gift is to contextualize and synthesize superficially disparate eras and events, social injustices and private pains.

In the months after the 2016 election, ”Traister” firm resolved to write about the explosion of women’s anger and activism, tracing it over a few years until she recognized a need to capture this movement in something like real time, to ensure that none of its complicated fury would be lost to tepid retrospective accounts and decided to compose “Good and Mad: Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger”.

Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger

It’s a virtuosic performance, elucidating women’s rage as a transformative political tool from 19th century abolition and suffrage campaigns to summer 2018, connecting achievements of the mad women of feminism’s first and second waves to the present day tide of women’s activism.
