GOOD AND MAD - REBECCA TRAISTER KARTONIERT (TB)

Journalist Rebecca Traister's New York Times bestselling exploration of the transformative
power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement is a hopeful 
maddening compendium of righteous feminine anger  and the good it can do when wielded
efficiently-and collectively (Vanity Fair).Long before Pantsuit Nation  before the Women's
March  and before the #MeToo movement  women's anger was not only politically catalytic-but
politically problematic. The story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates
its crucial role in women's slow rise to political power in America  as well as the ways that
anger is received when it comes from women as opposed to when it comes from men.Urgent 
enlightened...realistic and compelling...Traister eloquently highlights the challenge of
blaming not just forces and systems  but individuals (The Washington Post). In Good and Mad 
Traister tracks the history of female anger as political fuel-from suffragettes marching on the
White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to
the Supreme Court. Traister explores women's anger at both men and other women  anger between
ideological allies and foes  the varied ways anger is received based on who's expressing it 
and the way women's collective fury has become transformative political fuel. She deconstructs
society's (and the media's) condemnation of female emotion (especially rage) and the impact of
their resulting repercussions.Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against women by all
sexes  and its disastrous  stultifying effect  Good and Mad is perfectly timed and inspiring
(People  Book of the Week). This admirably rousing narrative (The Atlantic) offers a glimpse
into the galvanizing force of women's collective anger  which  when harnessed  can change
history.
