These essays address women‘s anger in a range of voices, tones, and perspectives. I would get worked up while reading but took comfort in the fact that so many of these talented and inspired women are fighting the good fight.

Burn It Down: Women Writing about Anger | Lilly Dancyger

Burn it Down is a powerful collection of short essays by women discussing anger, typically their own based on their lived experiences. I love how each author approaches this a little differently and how much diversity is here—POC, trans, immigrant, and disabled women are all here. This is outstanding.

vivastory I really need to read more essay collections. I really enjoy them, but it seems like I very rarely read them 5y

Hooked_on_books @vivastory I discovered them a few years ago and I‘m a huge fan. They‘re one of my favorite things to read. 5y

just picked up a few more holds at the library so decided to make a stack of all the library books I have out at the moment ^ I'm in the middle of reading a few but at least I will have lots to chose from when I'm done - Burn It Down sounds interesting & I feel like I should read The Water Dancer soon as well because it will likely take me a while to be able to check it out again.

merelybookish This library stack makes me feel better about mine. 😂 5y

MicheleinPhilly @Amiable I hope you get them! I‘ve seen/met Secretary Clinton several times and she is delightful! 5y

MicheleinPhilly @TrishB No one ever tries to surprise me with books anymore. The wife sets me down in front of the computer and tells me to “yell when you‘re ready to check out.” ☺️ 5y

TrishB It‘s more a warning of don‘t you dare!! And my daughter can access my Litsy tbr! Choosing your own and someone paying is still good! 5y

MicheleinPhilly @TrishB My oldest sister got so mad at me when I turned 14 or 15 because I talked up this book so much and she bought it for me for my birthday and I had bought it for myself. I think her exact words were “you little asshole.” 😂 5y

TrishB Sometimes I have a book on kindle and people buy it for me and I just keep quiet because they‘re made up with themselves! 5y

Amiable @MicheleinPhilly She definitely is wonderful! I met her when she was doing a book tour for “What Happened” and I told her that my Marine son had asked me to express his thanks to her for her service to our country as Sec. of State. She grabbed my hand, wrote down his name, told me to thank HIM for his service and said she was going to pray for his safety. The encounter brought me to tears. 5y

Susannah That‘s a wonderful story, @Amiable. 5y

5/5🌟 Out Oct 8th!
Essential Reading! In these 22 introspective and sharp essays a diverse selection of female authors explore their rage and the different forms it takes.
This was such a great collection! I found several new authors to add to my growing reading pile. I appreciated the diversity in the authors voices. The different perspectives really offered a lot of understanding how different women express and experience anger. #bookreview
