"At turns enraging, comforting and inspiring, Rage Becomes Her is a must read." —NPR (Best Book of 2018), on the English language edition
"How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Soraya Chemaly’s Rage Becomes Her will be good for women, and for the future of this country. After all, women have a lot to be angry about." —Gloria Steinem, on the English language edition
"In this powerful essay collection, Chemaly draws on interviews, research, and personal experience to examine why patriarchal Western cultures continue to demand that women silence their rage . . . Intelligent and keenly observed, this is a bracingly liberating call for the right of women to own their anger and use it to benefit a society ‘at risk for authoritarianism.’ Important, timely, necessary reading." —Kirkus (starred review), on the English language edition
"[A] thoughtful, in-depth exploration of female rage . . . An essential and timely read . . . Invaluable and eye-opening." —Booklist (starred review), on the English language edition
"Rage is a battle-cry of a book, drawing on all corner of contemporary life, from media to education and medicine. She takes the reader through a woman’s life, from infancy to adulthood, highlighting the systemic ways female rage is suppressed, diverted or minimalised. And she provides scientific evidence to back up her ideas. If life as a modern woman is maddening, then Rage is a sanity-restorer." —The Guardian, on the English language edition
"If you think Senator Warren persisted, meet Soraya Chemaly and her latest book, Rage Becomes Her . . . Men should read the book and the women in their lives must insist that they do so . . . Chemaly’s book is giving voice to how women’s voices have been suppressed. This book needs to be read." —New York Journal of Books, on the English language edition
"This explosive, vital and unapologetic book lifts the lid on a hugely important but little-discussed aspect of gender inequality. With skill, wit and sharp insight, Chemaly peels back layers of cultural norms and repression to lay bare the reality of women's rage. She joins the dots to trace the connections between misogyny, violence and the repression of female anger. She weaves a path that takes us from pornography to the playground, media to medicine. This book should make you furious. It is a battle cry for women's right to rage: teaching us that we have every right to be angry, and demanding that the world pays attention to that anger." —Laura Bates, author, Girl Up and Everyday Sexism, on the English language edition
"A timely, politically charged account of what it means to be an American woman today . . . For feminists, sociologists, and politically involved readers." —Library Journal, on the English language edition
