Description
"In 2018, it may feel as if women's anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before the Women's March and #MeToo, women's anger had been a nation-shaping force, as politically problematic as it has been politically catalytic. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca Traister tracks the history of female anger--from suffragists who chained themselves to the White House fence to the nonviolent protest tactics of Rosa Parks, a woman whose burning anger at injustice has been obscured by a view of her as stoic and demure. Here Traister explores women's anger at men and at other women; anger at injustice and at racial inequities between women; and anger directed at ideological foes and at ideological allies. She examines the varied ways in which women's anger is received, how its expression has been discouraged, mocked, and delegitimized, and how much its reception has depended on the race, status, and politics of the woman doing the raging. Traister argues that women's collective fury has been--and could now become--transformative political fuel, while deconstructing social (and media) condemnation of female emotion, and why it is that women's fury is understood to be so dangerous. Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against women, Traister explores how calls for civility are often issued by the minority oppressors against a marginalized majority, and the ways in which America's minority rule, in the hands of a white capitalist patriarchy, has weakened majority resistance in part by suppressing its ire. Brilliant, incisive, and profound, Good and Mad is a timely and crucial investigation offering a glimpse into the galvanizing force of women's collective anger, which, when harnessed, can change history."--Provided by publisher.
