In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Who to Root For Now? 

OK. The British reneged on their promise to free slaves who joined in their fight against the American colonies. (See my post below.) In fact, they often sold the slaves on the Caribbean slave market. So I'm certainly not rooting for the British as I read about the revolution. They also infected slaves with smallpox and then sent them to the American army—a kind of biological warfare. I'm rooting for the slaves, of course, but I know they are not freed for many decades to come.
