Description

“At the beginning of almost every major social movement that has reshaped this country… there were angry women and girls at the start.” Rebecca Traister, bestselling author and writer at large for New York Magazine, talks to Jordan Klepper about her latest book, “Angry Girls Will Get Us Through.” They discuss the constructive power of anger to bring people together and affect social change, and the mission of her book to tell the under-recognized stories of angry women, girls, and nonbinary people who sparked some of the most impactful moments of change throughout American history. #DailyShow #RebeccaTraister #Anger Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Being called hysterical right now for caring about things like the Epstein files is really common. Honestly just a way to silence us

Anger is sadness infused with energy, giving us the strength to change bad things. The most important thing is to use that strength in the right place, at the right time, and in the right way.
