Perhaps the reason that women's anger is so broadly denigrated-treated as so ugly, so alienating, and so irrational-is because we have known all along that with it came the explosive power to upturn the very systems that have sought to contain it. What becomes clear, when we look to the past with an eye to the future, is that the discouragement of women's anger-via silencing, erasure, and repression-stems from the correct understanding of those in power that in the fury of women lies the power to change the world.
