Hysterical

"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"--Provided by publisher.
