With about Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower searing honesty, intimacy and humor too, America’s leading young black feminist celebrates the energy of rage with this piercing new audiobook.

So what whether it’s true that Black females are mad simply because hell? They possess the right to become. In the Black feminist custom of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful way to obtain energy that may give us the strength to keep on fighting.

Far too often, Dark women’s anger has been caricatured into an unpleasant and destructive power that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more towards the tale than that. Dark women’s eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. It’s what makes Beyoncé’s woman power anthems resonate so hard. It’s what makes Michelle Obama an icon.

Eloquent rage keeps people honest and accountable. It reminds women that they don’t really have to accept less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother’s eloquent rage about like, sex, and marriage within an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was transformed. And it took another intervention, this time around staged by among her homegirls, to turn Brittney in to the brutal feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper’s world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This audiobook argues that ultimately feminism, camaraderie, and beliefs in one’s own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up once again.
