How can women use their anger creatively? Given that anger is a difficult emotion for many women, this question poses quite a challenge. Transformed Fire helps women to meet this provocative challenge by looking at the anger in its many complex dimensions-cultural, intellectual, physical and spiritual. This exploration incorporates perspectives from poetry, literature and the social sciences-as well as from the traditions of Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. Amid these rich and multiple layers, author Kathleen Fischer suggests ways to understand the meaning of anger and to direct its energy well; treats how love and anger are integrated, focusing especially on the issues of self-esteem, intimate relationships, receiving anger and dealing with conflict; and discusses ways to worked with anger that move beyond either muffling or venting it.
