Socialization and culture play key roles in shaping the ways in which women's anger is negotiated. Women's Anger reveals the complex nature of the anger experience for women and girls both as an internal phenomenon and in its interrelationships with interpersonal interactions and the broader social environment.

The book: Offers a combined focus on feminist and developmental perspectives on anger, the psychology of emotion, and applied theory; Focuses on the adaptive and functional aspects of women's anger rather than on traditional, psychopathology-base models; Provides several clinical illustrations from actual clients as well as comments by women and girls talking about their own perspectives on anger; Looks at how anger is intertwined with the development of self.
