TL;DR - be more pissed off more often.
Fantastic work. Traister comes at her subject from a white lens, and both acknowledges and critiques the power that affords. Lots of historical framework tied to contemporary politics. Definitely will need a re-read.

4 and a half but so close to 5 that I marked it that way. The author reads her own work.
This is such a great book for the history of what has and does make women angry and the women who have done something about it. All of us should be angry women at times (most times, frankly) and I so appreciated the history.

To be honest, I was expecting this book to read more like a manifesto - I was hoping to *feel* the anger from the page more than I did. It still felt a little too apologetic. Definitely a step in the right direction, though!

This book absolutely enraged me, as I think is one of its purposes. But it also educated me in the ways I should use my privileged anger to be better. There are short histories involved in this book, but mostly it tells the stories of women currently involved in US politics.
Traister calls on white women to be better. To understand that women of color have long been dismissed because of their anger while using it as a driving force for political change.
I wish I could get a man in my life to read this book. But I think they probably won't

This was like reading a well-researched and rationalized version of my own thoughts. Packed full of research and well-documented, but written in such a relatable way that at times, it reads like good fiction. I predict it will be one of my most "lent-out" books of 2019.

This was a very well written book that addresses all the things related to Trump and metoo and being angry that have gone on since November 2016.
