'Jennifer's intelligence, compassion and experience as a psychotherapist make this a game-changer and a must-read for women and the men who love us.' Shaparak Khorsandi

'A revelation and resource for not just women, but everyone.'

Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her and The Resilience Myth

What if you aren't depressed? What if you don't have chronic fatigue? What if you are just... angry?

In a world where patience is a virtue and being a good girl is for life, women are never allowed to truly express their anger - and it is making us ill. After a lifetime of being told to repress it, to hide it away and fear it, anger has begun to manifest in female bodies in myriad ways we can't control. And the results are alarming.

In this powerful and eye-opening book, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox takes us on a journey from cradle to grave revealing how, at every stage of our lives, women are conditioned not to speak out or 'make a fuss'. Jennifer draws on her wealth of therapeutic experience to show us how to tune in to our feelings of frustration and offers us the tools to express what we have subdued for so long.

Women are Angry will show you where your rage is hiding - and how to let it out.

Jennifer Cox trained as a forensic psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic, and has a Masters in Neuroscience. Jennifer has an extensive international psychotherapy practice based in London, specialising in treating women and their undiagnosed anger. For years now, she has experimented with prescribing 'homework' around therapy. In this way, she has discovered the efficacy of psychoanalytic work can be accelerated by other means. Crucially, the Women Are Mad approach also enables people who can't afford therapy an opportunity to 'think below the surface' about where their rage might be coming from, as they try out the practical ideas suggested for releasing it. Jennifer now runs several processing groups across a month and is growing the Women Are Mad brand. The weekly Women Are Mad podcast has now dropped, with Jane Green as co-host and a line-up of captivating celebrity guests including Miranda Sawyer.

Collectively we can be that change. An absolute must-read.' * Helen Marie, author of Choose You * Women Are Angry puts words to the feelings we have all felt rising over the years. A gem of a book that I talk to my young daughters about. * Stacey Heale, author of Now Is Not The Time For Flowers * 'I got everything I wanted and needed from this book. It is expert, rallying and inclusive.' * Nell Hudson, actress and author of Just For Today * You need this book. And so does everyone in your life. Including the men! * Holly Matthews, author of Happy Me Project and Find Your Confidence * [Jennifer's] exploration is whip-smart and, at times, witty, with case studies almost every woman will relate to. [...] Jennifer is practical, too, offering ways for allies to do better, and tools to release the repressed rage. * Psychologies Magazine * 'Jennifer skilfully guides us to identify our feelings of rage, often masquerading as physical ailments that we're prescribed a pill for, and shows us how to stop anger eating us alive. A life-changing guide on reclaiming our right to feel and our capacity to heal.' * Suzy Reading, author of Rest to Reset and Self-Care for Tough Times * 'Never more needed, never more timely. Infuriatingly brilliant.' * Minna Dubin, author of Mom Rage *
