Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk! The protagonist is a reclusive and somewhat cooky older woman in a remote Polish village angry at society’s brutality toward animals and the natural world, and the way she sees people use religion to justify violence. It’s a murder mystery. Highly recommend!

You Feel It Just Below the Ribs was good. A woman is writing it in a dystopian society, and the government is censoring the book as it’s being written. I usually don’t like dystopian books, but this one worked for me

Nightbitch is about a woman who sublimates her rage at being confined to a one dimensional role as a mother. If thats your jam, i highly recommend

Iron Widow is a ton of fun if you like sff
For contemporary stuff I highly second Mindfuck series

THE CHANGE by Kirsten Miller (described as a “guttural rage scream”) would be right up your alley:
>Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick—a gloriously entertaining and knife-sharp revenge fantasy about three women whose midlife crisis brings unexpected new powers—putting them on a collision course with the evil that lurks in their wealthy beach town.
You might also be interested in Zoje Stage’s books, particularly MOTHERED. That was a weird trip!

Women Talking by Miriam Toews is about a group of Mennonite women trying to decide their next step after realizing they’ve been subjected to horrific abuse. There are some beautiful and cathartic moments of female rage in the novel.
