Crazy Horse was as much feared by tribal foes as he was honored by allies. His war record was unmatched by any of his peers, and his rout of Custer at the Little Bighorn reverberates through history.

From childhood classrooms to marriages, workplaces, and motherhood, generations of women have been dismissed, minimized, and blamed for simply having needs, boundaries, or emotions.

Crazy Bitch explores why women internalize blame, why our reactions are pathologized, and how society benefits from our silence.
