![]() ![]() ![]() Eloquent Rage explores the complicated relationship between feminism as a woman and feminism through a multiplicity of perspectives. However, Brittney Cooper’s Eloquent Rage argues that this fails to explore feminism that serves social justice beyond just advocating for the rights of women she writes that “feminism can give us a common language for thinking about how sexism, and racism, and classism work together,” (5). These movements cite the belief that there is nothing left for women to be angry about: we can vote, work and drive. Shockingly one has to turn toward organizations like “The Mother’s Movement” of the 1950’s, or the modern day “ Women Against Feminism ,” to see that many of these critiques come from women. Feminism is a word too often condemned as a movement of angry, vengeful women. ![]()
