“Our anger has all this information, it has all this expertise, it has all this experience and we should respect it in ourselves and in other women.” – Soraya Chemaly
This episode is brought to you in collaboration with Fast Mary’s.
Today’s featured interview is with Soraya Chemaly. She is the author of Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger, named a Best Book of 2018 by NPR, Washington Post and others, including some of our favorites Autostraddle, Psychology Today, and Bitch magazine.

Renee Powers founded Feminist Book Club in 2018 to provide a space for intersectional feminists to learn, grow, and connect. When not reading or running the biz, you can find her drinking coffee and trying unsuccessfully to teach her retired racing greyhound how to fetch.
Favorite genres: feminist thrillers, contemporary literary fiction, short stories, and anything that might be described as "irreverent"
