"It shouldn’t be a surprise that women are angry these days: We’re underpaid, overworked, harassed and impossibly judged. The modern woman may identify her feelings as stress or fatigue – but really, they’re rage. And Soraya Chemaly makes the case that rather than something to soothe, anger is a powerful tool to fight injustice; women should feel the burn and use it for good. At turns enraging, comforting and inspiring, Rage Becomes Her is a must read."
