Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger by Soraya Chemaly
3.0
as someone who was always punished for being angry when i was younger this was a very interesting read, the chapter on sexual violence was very hard hitting and i liked how she did call out the misogynistic nature of pornography (although she did then use the phrase “ethical” pornography in a later chapter) however i really didn’t like the fact she kind of kept saying women have a right to be angry without going to the roots of that. The fact she only included two women who had killed abusive men in a book on women’s anger is insane at least put like Aileen Wuornos in. i also just have an utter hatred for feminist book that have to mention men’s problem every few pages especially in chapters talking about female oppression i do not care about the fact men can’t cry. definitely a book i would recommend to my middle aged aunts who wanted a book on feminism. (if you wanted something similar but better the furies by Elizabeth Flock goes into actual acts of violence against male supremacy)
