The Transformative Properties of Anger, Banksy Update

Rebecca Traister joins us to discuss Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger. In 2018 especially, the story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates the history of resentment that has enshrouded women’s rise to political power in America, as well as the ways that anger is received when it comes from women. Traister tracks the history of female anger as political fuel—from suffragettes marching on the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court.

David Wallace-Wells, deputy editor at New York Magazine, joins us with an update on the now infamous Banksy piece, “Girl With A Balloon,” which shredded itself moments after being sold at auction in early October.
