Rabia Somos Todas: El Poder del Enojo Femenino Para Cambiar El Mundo
Desde niñas aprendemos que debemos contener la ira y no dejarla salir, aunque lastre nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente de maneras insospechadas. Y sin embargo, tenemos una multitud de razones legítimas para sentirnos enojadas: desde los actos de misoginia más crudos y violentos, hasta el sutil goteo del sexismo cotidiano que fortalece las normas de género más insidiosas de nuestras sociedades.
Girls grow up learning to suppress their anger and never let it out, even though it may damage their bodies and minds in unforeseen ways. And yet, women have plenty of legitimate reasons to be angry, from the crudest and most gruesome acts of misogyny to subtle everyday sexism that reinforces gender roles in insidious ways.

Praise for this book
"[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
"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
"Chemaly distills years of award-winning work in writing and activism into a single profound volume on women's rage and the complex systems of social control that silence the rage of women and weaponize the rage of men." --Electric Literature, on the English language edition
"In this breathtakingly (or maybe I should say breathgivingly...because it will literally make you feel like you can breathe again) liberating book, Soraya Chemaly breaks down the myriad ways that women are silenced, ignored, disrespected, dehumanized, and generally spat upon by the patriarchy...It's one of the best feminist books I've ever read and the first I will recommend the next time someone asks me why I'm a feminist." --BookRiot, 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
"At turns enraging, comforting and inspiring, Rage Becomes Her is a must read." --NPR (Best Book of 2018), 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
"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
"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
