      In 2018, women's anger surged into public discourse, yet this emotion has long been both politically catalytic and problematic. The narrative of female fury reveals a historical backdrop of resentment surrounding women's gradual ascent to political power in America, highlighting the differing receptions of anger based on gender. The author traces the evolution of female anger as a political force, from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers protesting after Clarence Thomas's Supreme Court confirmation. The exploration includes women's anger directed at men and fellow women, the dynamics between ideological allies and adversaries, and the societal tendency to caricature and delegitimize female anger. The author examines how collective fury among women has served as transformative political fuel, especially in contemporary movements. Additionally, the text critiques society's and media's condemnation of female emotion, particularly rage, and the detrimental effects of such double standards enforced by all genders. Ultimately, the author provides insight into how harnessing women’s collective anger can serve as a powerful catalyst for change in history.
