Want to Read $ 16.99"When she looked down at me, though terrified, I felt more seen than I'd ever felt under another person's gaze. I have since learned that recognizing the invisible parts of oneself in another person can feel like a radiant kind of love."-Lilly Dancyger, Burn It Down: Women Writing about Anger
"As sure as she is becoming a woman, she is also being indoctrinated into a system I recognize- one that rewards female martyrdom with adoration and gratitude but leaves little room for her to air her frustration. I told her its as ok to be angry and to say so."-Lilly Dancyger, Burn It Down: Women Writing about Anger
"Everything I've learned from the time I was born is essentially some form of control. Basic lessons: how to control my hands, my body. Advanced lessons: how to control my volume, my appearance. Having control over myself allows me to choose. I can present myself as loudly or as softly, as boldly or as meekly, as wildly or as calmly as you wish."-Lilly Dancyger, Burn It Down: Women Writing about Anger
