Summary	The story of female fury and its cultural significance has enshrouded women's slow rise to political power in America. Traister tracks the history of female anger as political fuel. She explores women's anger at both men and other women; anger between ideological allies and foes. She also examines the varied ways anger is perceived based on its owner; as well as the history of caricaturing and delegitimizing female anger; and the way women's collective fury has become transformative political fuel-- as is most certainly occurring today. -- adapted from publisher into
