caoilo's review against another edition
A book about woman's right to be angry, to get angry, regardless of the social pressers. This book is about the situations in which woman have found themselves and felt that they were unable to be angry or had their anger misjudged or patronised.
Did it do what it set out to? There were plenty of angry storeys. Stories about anger and stories to read made me angry. Working off the blub this is definitely a book I would buy. However, I am glad I didn't.
This is my first DNF review book. I was itching for this book, it spoke not to me but about me. I used to angry cry, that ended when I was a teenager and another female from my own family used it against me.
Why did I not love it the way I thought I would? I think it was a mistake to make Leslie Jamison's Lungs Full of Burning the first essay. I agreed with her point of view up until she started to talk about Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan.
.Though I only know the storey in passing and did not watch the movie I have an idea of the incident. I felt that Jamison had left the realm of talk about anger and slid into the topic of violence. I somehow felt that Jamison was validating the violence used while still trying to take both sides. Though I personally feel violence should be a last resort as a defensive measure. I think if this essay had to be included it should have been in the middle or end of the book. It really took away from my enjoyment of the book. It also leads me to reflect more on the cover of the book which I also felt, after a reassessment to be indicative of violence.
The majority of the other stories I read did give me a rush of motivation. Motivation to feel how I feel and not be ashamed of it. I really supported the idea of the book but felt the above reasons stopped me from wanting to pick up the book again.
Unfortunately, I stopped reading at page 68.
I feel if the book was to focus solely on anger and not drift towards violence it would make all the difference I would also love to read something similar but on how society shames men who cry.
