A powerful look at the societal expectations and realities that make women feel anger. I appreciate how recent this book is, with examples from 2018 and even some from Canada as well. It’s dismaying and enraging to know how little women’s anger is believed or welcomed in discourse, but I can only hope that the tides are changing.

I couldn’t even finish this book. I was very disappointed. It reads more like a thesis rather than a practical empowering guide for women. It just lists all these examples and statistics of injustices toward women. Yes it made me angry but I still don’t know what to do with the anger. Skip to chapter 10 for the practical advice. And it’s not even that good.

The topic of women’s anger (and societal repression thereof) is so important, but this book is a heavy read that I had to put down from time to time. The injustices Chemaly points out will make you angry, and seem overwhelming at times. The author did a great job of acknowledging intersections of misogyny with race, sexual orientation, and class. I also appreciated her effort at the end to include practical ways to show anger as a woman. I wish the writing had been organized a bit better, however, and I wish I could find a bibliography of her sources online since I borrowed the book from the library.

The text is much denser than I expected - it reads like a gender studies textbook. This isn't a bad thing! I just already have a WS degree.

An essential read for anyone who calls themself a feminist or a human. Chemaly hits hard and, while the book may be a bit scattered for some readers, speaks honestly and openly about women's rage and what makes them so filled with rage. This book made me angry in a good way and I want to read it again to get more out of it.
