Anger is always reserved for someone else. And yet, I've been in a room who escaped a war, who lost her father in ethnic cleansing, whose mother burned her hair, whose cousin raped her. 'What right do I have to be angry, when I am alive?' she said.Anger is the privilege of the truly broken, and yet, I've never met a woman who was broken enough that she allowed herself to be angry.An angry woman must answer for herself. The reasons for her anger must be picked over, examined, and debated.
