Victoria Richards, in her latest column, expresses her frustration with being labeled an 'angry woman' and questions why society is not equally outraged by the injustices women face. She highlights the historical context of women's anger, tracing the term 'hysteria' back to the belief that women's emotions stemmed from a 'wandering uterus'. Richards emphasizes the urgent issues at hand, such as the erosion of reproductive rights in the US and UK, the plight of women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, and the pervasive violence against women worldwide, which affects one in three women. In response to these injustices, Richards has joined a collective of over 70 female-identifying and non-binary artists called ALL THE RAGE. They are creating a theatrical piece addressing the release of the Epstein files, which reveals the exploitation of young women by powerful men. This production will be showcased at Theatre Deli in Leadenhall, London, from June 11-13. Richards encourages readers to embrace their anger and channel it into collective action, fostering a dialogue around women's rights and societal change.
