A cathartic post-election read. I'm going to hold onto my anger. Hone it.

Perfectly timed listening for Kavanaugh confirmation week. Some feminist history, intersectionality commentary and incisive comparisons about how men’s and women’s displays of anger are treated. So yeah, I’m pissed off.
So timely. Hopefully it won’t just be women who read it. I listened to the audio version and sometimes wondered about the overall organization of the book since threads seemed to be repeated but I could forgive that fault given how much I needed this book right now.
Validating. Insightful. Educational. Inspirational. Necessary. This should be mandatory reading for all Americans.
This book is preaching to the choir with me and I don’t think it’s perfect, but I’m still glad I read it (even though I had to take breaks when it reminded me too much of my own anger and as the 2020 campaign season wore on and it hit too close to home for me).
I want *everyone* to read it.

Wow. And yes. SO MUCH YES. Traister’s book is a must-read for this time. Anger and rage are messy emotions, but they’re also powerful, and important, and worthy. This book is validating, challenging, and encouraging all in one. As she closes with, “Our job is to stay angry...perhaps for a very long time....That it will take a long time shouldn’t scare us. It should fortify us.”
Great analyses of sexism in the 2016 American presidential campaign (and recent American politics more broadly) as well as the #MeToo movement and the sexist backlash to it. Good and Mad is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the intricate workings of sexism in the public sphere.
