  In this work, the authors deliver a powerful message to every woman: rage is part of who you are. You can learn where to find it, how to understand it and when to use it. They explain why rage is epidemic among women, why women need to acknowledge it, and how they can use it to empower their lives. Drawing on examples from mythology, literature and film, as well as interviews with women and psychotherapists, Valentis and Devane show you how it is possible to channel your rage into energy, determination, strength and action. The authors aqlso discuss the physical and emotional problems, such as depression, anorexia and bulimia, drug and alcohol addiction, over-dependency on men, that result when rage is turned inwards. They talk about the tendency to label enraged women as hysterical or crazy and how women tend to direct their rage towards other women instead of men.
