THE MENTAL LOAD A Feminist Comic

In her first book, comic strip creator Emma takes a blistering look at the mental load of women--that running list of everything that needs doing that every woman lives with. The narrators work together to create a chorus of pretend personas that paint the reality facing contemporary women. The men give voice to a range of traditionalists in places like the office, beach, or home who criticize women's cellulite or choices in the delivery room. The female narrators take on different chapters covering topics from workplace harassment to inequity in domestic chores. While this is an easy listen, with chapters that are 10 minutes or less, the points raised in this audiobook will resonate long after hearing it.
