Rage Becomes Her is an “utterly eye opening” (Bustle) book that gives voice to the causes, expressions, and possibilities of female rage.

As women, we’ve been urged for so long to bottle up our anger, letting it corrode our bodies and minds in ways we don’t even realize. Yet there are so, so many legitimate reasons for us to feel angry, ranging from blatant, horrifying acts of misogyny to the subtle drip, drip drip of daily sexism that reinforces the absurdly damaging gender norms of our society.

In Rage Becomes Her, Soraya Chemaly argues that our anger is not only justified, it is also an active part of the solution. We are so often encouraged to resist our rage or punished for justifiably expressing it, yet how many remarkable achievements would never have gotten off the ground without the kernel of anger that fueled them? Approached with conscious intention, anger is a vital instrument, a radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. On the flip side, the societal and cultural belittlement of our anger is a cunning way of limiting and controlling our power—one we can no longer abide.

“A work of great spirit and verve” (Time), Rage Becomes Her is a validating, energizing read that will change the way you interact with the world around you.

When I was a young woman, I said I believed in equality. However, I struggled with two things: the first was being in Protestant/evangelical Christianity and the second was unconsciously buying into the lie that "masculine" (whatever that is) was superior. I wanted to be perfect, which to me meant simultaneously allowing someone else (a man) to make decisions for me, a la Christian teachings, but also being strong and independent myself--like a man.

Now that I'm in my 40s, I realize that this was a fool's errand. Nothing I could have done would have made me into society's view of a perfect woman, because my own pesky nature wouldn't allow it. For years, I turned my rage inward, and what I got to show for it was burnout, a divorce, and breast cancer.

Now I'm learning to be myself, while reaffirming all the things I'd been too afraid to admit were true along the way. If you like facts (like I used to think "the proper man" or "logical, emotionless woman" should), then you'll love this book. It's jam-packed with all the research, case studies, and anecdotes you could want, proving that women are indeed still treated as second-class citizens and held to different standards than men.

I hope it makes you furious.

Everyone should read this

I was aware of the gender gap issues, but this book brings an all round view of the massive gender gap issues that continue he needed to be discussed in schools, politics and homes. A definite must read!

This was such a lovely book. The information it unpacked about anger politics in personal, professional, and political spaces was eye-opening. Chemaly addresses big issues in an approachable way making this book accessible in so many ways. Her reading of her work is also wonderful, the performance is clear and exciting. I cannot say enough good words about this book. It is a must-read.

Be Empowered in Your Anger!
