  Everywoman Space - Anger II

  This Every Woman’s Space episode is centered on the theme of women’s anger, how it is expressed, repressed, and how it is shaped by socialization. Side A opens with an introduction explaining that this episode continues a previous “Speak Out on Anger” program, inviting women of all identities to share their experiences. The host plays a recorded discussion with writer Isabel Miller about interpersonal anger among women and the difficulties of expressing it, followed by readings of listener letters and journal entries, including one describing sexism in a legal workplace. Side B continues with call-in discussions where women describe struggles to voice anger in friendships, workplaces, and family relationships, reflecting on how they were conditioned to “be nice” and suppress confrontation. The host comments on these dynamics, encouraging listeners to unlearn emotional repression and view anger as a constructive, transformative force. The program closes with a listener’s poem and Margie Adam’s song “I’ve Got a Fury”.
