ReviewsAdvance Praise for RAGE BECOMES HER by Soraya Chemaly "In this powerful essay collection, Chemaly draws on interviews, research, and personal experience to examine why patriarchal Western cultures continue to demand that women silence their rage ...Intelligent and keenly observed, this is a bracingly liberating call for the right of women to own their anger and use it to benefit a society 'at risk for authoritarianism.' Important, timely, necessary reading." -- Kirkus (starred review) "How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Soraya Chemaly's Rage Becomes Her will be good for women, and for the future of this country. After all, women have a lot to be angry about." --Gloria Steinem "This explosive, vital and unapologetic book lifts the lid on a hugely important but little-discussed aspect of gender inequality. With skill, wit and sharp insight, Chemaly peels back layers of cultural norms and repression to lay bare the reality of women's rage. She joins the dots to trace the connections between misogyny, violence and the repression of female anger. She weaves a path that takes us from pornography to the playground, media to medicine. This book should make you furious. It is a battle cry for women's right to rage: teaching us that we have every right to be angry, and demanding that the world pays attention to that anger." --Laura Bates, author of Girl Up and Everyday Sexism "Women's anger is the last taboo. In this provocative examination of the forbidden, hidden emotion, Soraya Chemaly asks 'What do we lose, personally and as a society, by not listening to women's anger or respecting it?' Answer: the true voice of half of humanity. If you want to understand why #Metoo has swept the country, you need to read this book." --Katha Pollitt, poet and columnist, author of Learning To Drive: And Other Life Stories "Soraya Chemaly turns her rigorous compassion, scrupulous fairness, and microscopically sharp clarity of thought on our culture's forced suppression of female anger...Our world will never be the same. And, yes, that's a threat." --Lindy West, New York Times bestselling author of Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman "Soraya Chemaly issues a powerful clarion call to women to speak our truth and own our righteous anger during a time when nothing less than our rage will set us free." --Jamia Wilson, Executive Director and Publisher, The Feminist Press "If you want to understand why #MeToo has swept the country, you need to read this book." --Katha Pollitt, author of Learning to Drive "With every chapter I felt more power flooding in where fear and shame once were. This is a book that could change your life, and the world." --Jaclyn Friedman, author of Unscrewed, "How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Soraya Chemaly's Rage Becomes Her will be good for women, and for the future of this country.

Synopsis***A BEST BOOK OF 2018 SELECTION*** NPR * The Washington Post * Book Riot * Autostraddle * Psychology Today *** A BEST FEMINIST BOOK SELECTION *** Refinery 29, Book Riot, Autostraddle, BITCH 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.
