Book description
Good and Mad - A Powerful Audiobook Experience
Rebecca Traister's Good and Mad turns the often-turbulent terrain of female anger into a compelling narrative that feels both personal and profoundly political. From the suffragette marches of the early twentieth century to the office-building protests that followed Clarence Thomas's confirmation, Traister traces how women's rage has long been a catalyst for change - even as society has routinely dismissed or demonized it.
What makes this audiobook shine is its conversational tone. Traister speaks directly to listeners, weaving anecdotes with historical analysis in a way that feels like an engaging conversation rather than a lecture. Her voice carries the urgency of her subject matter: "Anger is not just a private feeling; it's a public tool." She deftly shows how anger can be both destructive and transformative depending on who wields it and how it is received.
The book's structure - moving from early suffragettes to modern movements like Women's March, #MeToo, and the fight for reproductive rights - gives listeners a clear roadmap of progress. Traister also doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truth that women's anger has been met with double standards: criticism when it challenges men, but suspicion or silence when directed at other women.
Critics have praised the audiobook for its "hopeful, maddening compendium" (Vanity Fair) and its "urgent, enlightened...realistic and compelling" approach (The Washington Post). The narrative's energy is contagious; by the time you reach the final chapters, you're left with a sense of purpose: anger, when harnessed collectively, can indeed shift history.
If you're looking for an audiobook that blends rigorous research with a passionate call to action, Good and Mad delivers. It reminds us that rage, far from being merely emotional turbulence, is a powerful engine for social change - especially when women unite behind it.
