This week we are talking about anger, the emotion that shaped 2025. So much so that "rage bait" was crowned the Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year. But while anger has long been rewarded, even celebrated, when expressed by men, women’s fury has remained something of a taboo; dismissed as hysteria or rudeness. But is a cultural reckoning underway, where women are finally being heard – not despite, but because of their anger?
Jennifer Ben Brahim talks with psychotherapist Jennifer Cox. She co-hosts the podcast "Women are Mad" and is the author of "Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage Is Hiding and How to Let It Out".
We also look at how Rage Rooms have become a smash hit in countries like the UK and France, with a 200 percent increase in bookings and 90 percent of participants being women.
Plus we delve into how female rage has been portrayed in popular culture.
