Rebecca Traister: Good and Mad

About the Event:

After covering the 2008 presidential campaign (Big Girls Don’t Cry) and exploring the impact of the single woman on the narrative of American history in the best-selling All the Single Ladies, award-winning journalist Rebecca Traister now turns to the power of female anger as a political force in Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger. With trademark eloquence and fervor, Traister, whom Anne Lamott called “the most brilliant voice on feminism in this country," tracks the history of female anger as political fuel, offering a glimpse into the galvanizing force of women’s collective anger, which, when harnessed, can change history.

This annual lecture is supported by the Doris Conant Endowment for Lectures on Women and Culture.
