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.

Mad women get sh*t done and always have. It was empowering to hear the intersectional history of angry icons who paved the way for us in 2019, and a good reminder that being angry is POWERFUL and can fuel meaningful change.
