This was really good. It repeated some information I already knew, but might be useful in the future as something for a class.
This book helped me name the reason's for my anger. It explored the cyclical struggle of equality and the need to use righteous anger toward making changes. It pointed out how anger shown by men and women is experienced and interpreted differently, which creates barriers for women. I appreciate her acknowledgement that movements like #metoo can feel like a scary roller coaster ride and revolution often does feel this way. It implores all of us who woke up after the 2016 election to stay woke, stay angry and continue to push for change.

“What you’re angry about now—injustice—will still exist, even if you yourself are not experiencing it, or are tempted to stop thinking about how you experience it, or how you contribute to it. Others are still experiencing it, still mad; some of them are mad at you. Don’t forget them; don’t write of their anger. Stay mad for them. Stay mad with them.”
In this 2018 book, Traister chronicles, celebrates, and critiques American feminism and women’s movements, exploring how anger is a revolutionary tool that must be cultivated. She examines the power of women’s anger in various arenas, such as politics, #MeToo, March for Our Lives, Black Lives Matter, and media. Additionally, she’s quick to call out various white feminists for their historical—and sometimes continued—lack of intersectionality as well as their appropriation of nonwhite women’s strategy and dialogue.
“Being mad is correct; being mad is American; being mad can be joyful and productive and connective. Don’t ever let them talk you out of being mad again.”

“We know what happens when women get out of control, don’t we? Yes, that is when we change the world.”
Really liked this! This book was powerful, inspiring, loud, and informative. The author really covers a variety of topics from how anger has played a role in movements like Women’s Suffrage and #metoo to how, as women, we’ve been conditioned to hide our anger, to make it more digestible for others. Embracing and sharing our anger is fuel for change.
*Unfortunately, this was only available from the library in audio book - I wish I could’ve had the ebook to highlight more.

Nothing earth-shattering here. A lot of it feels like old news, because the world changes so dramatically every week.
THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD! Owning my righteous anger forevermore and using it to spur action
