SPIEGEL Bestselling Author Tara-Louise Wittwer Shows Why We Will Never Achieve Equality Without Female Rage
For centuries, women have been oppressed. Women who have exuded strength in any form, empowered themselves, and fought back have been ridiculed, condemned, and demonised. And all these women live on in us – their fear, their joy, their love. And their rage. All these mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. All the women throughout history who had to make great sacrifices on the rocky road to equality.
In search of the origins of female rage, Tara-Louise Wittwer delves into European history and tells the untold stories of women who resisted the male narrative of weakness and passivity. She questions the moral justifiability of revenge and resistance in a world that systematically wrongs women. In doing so, she brings deep-seated narratives, passed down through generations, to light and shows what women can achieve when they stand together, so that this rage can eventually heal.
»I feel a deep-seated, shattering, and all-consuming rage. A blazing fire deep within me that wants to burst out – I feel Female Rage.«
