They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black women's eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. It's what makes Beyonc 's girl power anthems resonate so hard. It's what makes Michelle Obama an icon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they don't have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper's world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This book argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA BEST\/MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2018 BY: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlamour \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChicago Reader \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- Bustle \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- Autostraddle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrittney Cooper\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University, she cofounded the Crunk Collective, and her work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, The Washington Post, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times, Ebony, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Root\u003c\/i\u003e, among many others.
