In her book "Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger," Rebecca Traister explores how women's anger serves as a catalyst for personal transformation and collective action. She argues that experiencing and expressing anger empowers women, allowing them to connect their emotions to broader social issues. This anger not only affects individual lives but also inspires creativity and drives significant political and social advancements throughout history.

Traister emphasizes that women's anger is not merely a negative emotion; rather, it is a powerful force that fuels innovation and change. By channeling their anger into activism, women have historically played pivotal roles in social movements, pushing for equality and justice. This perspective highlights the importance of acknowledging women's emotions and leveraging them as a source of strength in the fight for progress.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
