Maternal rage refers to the intense anger some mothers experience when their child is harmed, dismissed, or repeatedly unsupported by institutions. This response can arise from a combination of protective instinct, accumulated frustration, and witnessing ongoing injustice affecting one’s child. While anger is often socially discouraged in mothers, maternal rage can also reflect deep care and commitment to a child’s well-being. When channelled constructively, it can become a powerful source of advocacy and change.
