Since at least the 1980s, depathologizing women’s anger has been an important project for feminist studies. Yet scholars who assign value to women’s expressions of anger have typically characterized anger as a feeling that is most beneficial when it is focused and clearly articulated against specific social ills. By contrast, deaf writer, performer, and director Terry Galloway constructs her anger as a “tangle of resentment” in which she sometimes feels trapped. What would it mean for feminist anger and rage to be tangled? I explore this question through a reading of Galloway’s 2009 memoir Mean Little deaf Queer and argue that grappling with complicated, messy anger can help feminists examine their own complicity with systems of oppression. Moreover, I explore how “tangled” anger might be a feeling uniquely experienced by disabled feminists
