Anger and Evil

A woman who does not feel anger poses no danger.

When was the last time you were angry? Women who give free rein to their anger are quickly labelled irrational, evil and bitter. In general, too, anger is seen as a negative emotion, which is better to suppress. Girls are raised to be quiet and elegant, not assertive. But female anger is a gift, and we must learn to perceive it as such. Women’s suffrage, #MeToo and the Women’s March have shown that, when used in the right way, anger can become a powerful weapon against personal and political oppression and even help us change the world. Journalist Ciani-Sophia Hoeder shows how anger can turn into the courage to bring about change.
