<div><b>A rich, nuanced exploration of women's anger from a diverse group of writers</b></div><div></div><div>Women are furious, and we're not keeping it to ourselves any longer. We're expected to be composed and compliant, but in a world that would strip us of our rights, disparage our contributions, and deny us a seat at the table of authority, we're no longer willing to quietly seethe behind tight smiles.</div><div></div><div>We're ready to burn it all down.</div><div></div><div>In this ferocious collection of essays, twenty-two writers explore how anger has shaped their lives: author of the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>The Empathy Exams</i><b>Leslie Jamison</b> confesses that she used to insist she wasn't angry -- until she learned that she was; <b>Melissa Febos</b>, author of the Lambda Literary Award­-winning memoir <i>Abandon Me</i>, writes about how she discovered that anger can be an instrument of power; editor-in-chief of Bitch Media <b>Evette Dionne</b> dismantles the "angry Black woman" stereotype; and more.</div><div></div><div>Broad-ranging and cathartic, <i>Burn It Down</i> is essential reading for any woman who has scorched with rage -- and is ready to claim her right to express it.</div>
