This is a book by and about women who might be angry. Or they might not be angry. But then they wouldn't be writing a book about anger.
Anger has long been a fraught and taboo emotion for many women. In this collection of personal essays, twenty-three women explore anger in its many forms. With courage and compassion, these writers share the ways in which this natural human emotion has impacted their lives. Some minimize anger while others blow up or block it, but almost all of them are searching for healthier ways to express it. Their stories are vulnerable, powerful, and everything in between, and thanks to the alchemy of writing, each contains a little bit of gold.
