  • About the Original Book:

    In the wake of Donald Trump's election, many women found themselves angrier than they had ever been before. In Good and Mad, Rebecca Traister offers not only a guide for navigating your own anger in a system that was meant to suppress it, but also a guide to the history of feminism, oppression, and social justice movements from abolitions and women's suffrage to the tides of political change today. Women's anger, she argues has long been labeled as "ugly," "crazy," and "hysterical." But anger has also been responsible for most of the great revolutions and social justice movements around the world.
    Traister's well-researched narrative gives context, definition, and direction to the anger in women that found a breaking point with the election of Donald Trump. If you are a woman who has been unsure what to do with that anger, Traister's book will provide a much-needed outlet. If you are anyone else, it may be even more important for you to read this book.
