Between 2016 and 2018, Elissa Bassist saw over twenty medical professionals for a variety of mysterious ailments. Bassist had what millions of American women had: pain that didn't make sense to doctors, a body that didn't make sense to science, a psyche that didn't make sense to mankind. But then an acupuncturist suggested some of her physical pain could be caged fury finding expression, and that treating her voice would treat the problem. It did. Growing up, Bassist's family, boyfriends, school, work, and television had the same expectation for a woman's voice: less is more. She was called dramatic and insane for speaking her mind; she was accused of overreacting and playing victim for having unexplained physical pain; she was ignored or rebuked like women throughout history for using her voice "inappropriately" by expressing sadness or suffering or anger or joy. Because of this, she said "yes" when she meant "no"; she didn't tweet #MeToo; and she never spoke without fear of being "too emotional." So, she felt rage, but like a good woman, repressed it. In Hysterical, Bassist explains how girls and women internalize and perpetuate directives about their voice, making it hard to emote or "just speak up" and "burn down the patriarchy." But her silence hurt more than anything she could ever say. Hysterical is a memoir of a voice lost and found, and a primer on new ways to think about a woman's voice, where it's being squashed and where it needs amplification. Bassist breaks her own silences and calls on others to do the same-to unmute their voice, listen to it above all others, and use it again without regret"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1092 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.1092 Bassist Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1092 Bassist Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Bassist Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1092 Bassist Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1092 Bassist Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1092 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList
