‘I’ve decided to stop apologising’: Lisa Taddeo on women and rage

When a man acts in anger, we step aside, but a woman gets labelled crazy bitch'. In a personal, ferocious treatise, the author says we need to change the script

My mother once told me - no that's not true - my mother many times warned me: If you ever sell any of my jewellery after I'm dead, I'll come back from the grave and bite your toes."

I don't know if she meant she would nibble on my toes, or fully eat them, but I was petrified of her doing the things she threatened. My mother, after all, was a crazy bitch.
