For centuries, women have been oppressed. Women who have emanated strength in some way, empowered themselves or fought back have been laughed at, judged and demonized. All these women live on in us – their fears, their joy, their love. And their rage. In Nemesis’ Daughters, bestselling author Tara-Louise Wittwer (aka @wastarasagt) takes readers on a journey through 3,000 years of history – to search for the roots of female rage and find out what happens when women build each other up. Wittwer tells of women who have resisted, of the silent heroines of history, of forgotten fighters and immovable voices from ancient times to the present day. With a clear perspective, well-founded research and smart humor, she uncovers patriarchal narratives that aim to keep women small, countering them with stories of solidarity and self-empowerment.
