India, Oct. 3 -- Women are angrier than men. This is a statistical finding in India and elsewhere in the world. Yet, women have historically not been allowed to claim their anger openly. Nilanjana Bhowmick's Why The World Needs Angry Women is a blistering manifesto in favour of the modern woman's right to anger. Blending biting humour and philosophical depth, the author shows how women's anger is different from male anger that often rises out of the need to control, intimidate, and maintain the status quo. Women's anger, on the other hand, challenges the status quo and is a harbinger of social change. Bhowmick interviews 13 women whose anger has shaped the conscience of the nation. These include Fatima Nafees, the grieving mother of missing JNU student Najeeb; Beena Pallical, a firebrand Dalit activist; Rachita Taneja, the mind behind the Sanitary Panels webcomics, and many more. This book will compel you to re-examine everything you thought you knew about women, anger, and the fight for equality....
