Rage Becomes Her: A Glimpse into Women's World

Exploring New Perspectives: "Rage Becomes Her" by Soraya Chemaly

Diverse reading choices can illuminate fresh perspectives. Recently, I delved into "Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger" by Soraya Chemaly—an extraordinary book that speaks to all. As a father to an incredible daughter, a supportive spouse, and surrounded by influential women in my life, this book offered me a glimpse into the female experience in our society.

In "Rage Becomes Her," Chemaly navigates a range of critical subjects: the intricate dynamics of women's anger and why it's often stifled, the influence of gender and socialization on our expectations, the structures that sideline women's voices, and the concept of emotional labour that unfairly burdens women with managing others' emotions while suppressing their own.

For organizational leaders, there are invaluable insights to glean. Recognizing the existence of gender biases is crucial—it's a reality we must confront. Prioritizing and nurturing emotional intelligence, particularly empathy, is imperative. Supporting employee well-being and cultivating inclusive leadership are vital steps toward a more equitable workplace.

For anyone seeking to validate their emotions, especially women, or for men willing to explore a book that may leave them both awestruck and introspective about privilege, I highly recommend this read.
