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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eHysterical,\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eHysterical\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51683566027025,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51683566125329,"sku":"NIN9788419449757","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"inside-jokes-book-elissa-bassist-9781538770771","title":"Inside Jokes","description":"\u003cb\u003eA step-by-step practical guide to all types of comedy writing, filled with invaluable advice, exercises, interviews, tools, and jokes that will turn anyone into a funnier writer and person, from authors\/editors\/teachers\/perfect 10s Elissa Bassist and Caitlin Kunkel.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eComedy writing is hard.\u003c\/i\u003e Or is it? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Not with INSIDE JOKES. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e INSIDE JOKES is a masterclass in a book that teaches you how to write anything funnier, from short humor to essays to psychiatric in-take forms.
