In her brilliant (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) first book for young readers, New York Times bestselling author and New York magazine writer-at-large Rebecca Traister draws material from her award-winning books and articles to show girls their anger has the power to be a force of change, just like for many trailblazers before them.
From an early age, young girls are taught anger isnt an emotion they should express. Theyre toldeither implicitly or explicitlyto spend their lives keeping their fury locked inside for the benefit of others. But partly, Traister argues, thats because the anger of women and girls has been a crucial catalyst for change, putting in motion some of the most defining social and political movements in our nations history. And its that anger that will blaze the path forward for the future.
Traister chronicles a concise history from the colonial era to the Womens March of 2016 demonstrating how womens rage has forged coalitions and created political change through movements for womens and civil rights and more, and how the past decade has created an inflection point for women and girls who have yet to experience rights equal to mens in the United States.
