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

Journalist Rebecca Traisterâ€™s New York Times bestselling exploration of the transformative power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement is â€œa hopeful, maddening compendium of righteous feminine anger, and the good it can do when wielded efficientlyâ€”and collectivelyâ€ (Vanity Fair).

Long before Pantsuit Nation, before the Womenâ€™s March, and before the #MeToo movement, womenâ€™s anger was not only politically catalyticâ€”but politically problematic. The story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates its crucial role in womenâ€™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.

â€œUrgent, enlightenedâ€¦realistic and compellingâ€¦Traister eloquently highlights the challenge of blaming not just forces and systems, but individualsâ€ (The Washington Post). In Good and Mad, Traister tracks the history of female anger as political fuelâ€”from suffragettes marching on the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Traister explores womenâ€™s anger at both men and other women; anger between ideological allies and foes; the varied ways anger is received based on whoâ€™s expressing it; and the way womenâ€™s collective fury has become transformative political fuel. She deconstructs societyâ€™s (and the mediaâ€™s) condemnation of female emotion (especially rage) and the impact of their resulting repercussions.

Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against women by all sexes, and its disastrous, stultifying effect, Good and Mad is â€œperfectly timed and inspiringâ€ (People, Book of the Week). This â€œadmirably rousing narrativeâ€ (The Atlantic) offers a glimpse into the galvanizing force of womenâ€™s collective anger, which, when harnessed, can change history.
