good and mad

On the Sept. 3 episode of Working, Dahlia Lithwick spoke with Michele Goodwin, chancellor’s professor of law and director of the Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy at UC Irvine School of Law, and Rebecca Traister, a writer at large for New York magazine and author of Good and Mad, about the Texas law known as SB 8.

"White women, who enjoy proximal power from their association with white men, have often served as the white patriarchy's most eager foot soldiers," Traister wrote in her book "Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger."

“Individuals who come to bear representative weight are always going to embody contradiction and imperfection,” Rebecca Traister, a writer for New York magazine and the author of “Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger,” said.

“I’m pretty sure I’ve read every article Rebecca Traister has written about Hillary, and I read Traister’s book ‘Good and Mad’ while writing ‘Rodham,’ so it’s safe to assume I work under Traister’s influence, among others,” Sittenfeld says.

The night the Iowa caucus results were supposed to come in, a group of about a dozen women in their 30s and 40s gathered to discuss “Good and Mad,” a book examining women’s anger by the journalist Rebecca Traister.
