From Gemma Hartley, the journalist who ignited a national conversation on Emotional labor, comes Fed Up , a bold dive into the unpaid, invisible work Women have shouldered for too long--and an impassioned vision for creating a better future for us all .
Reframing Emotional Labor not as a problem to be overcome, but as a genderless virtue men and Women can all learn to channel in our quest to make a better, more egalitarian world, Fed Up is surprising, intelligent, and empathetic essential reading for every woman who has had enough with feeling fed up..
Rejecting easy solutions that don\'t ultimately move the needle, Hartley offers a nuanced, insightful guide to striking real balance, for true partnership in every aspect of our lives.
More than just name the problem, though, Hartley teases apart the cultural messaging that has led us here and asks how we can shift the load.
Now, in Fed Up , Hartley expands outward from the everyday frustrations of performing thankless Emotional Labor to illuminate how the expectation to do this work in all arenas--private and public--fuels gender inequality, limits our opportunities, steals our time, and adversely affects the quality of our lives.
In her ultra-viral article Women Aren\'t Nags--We\'re Just Fed Up, shared by millions of readers, Gemma Hartley gave much-needed voice to the frustration and anger experienced by countless women.
No wonder Women everywhere are overtaxed, exhausted, and simply fed up .
We do this largely invisible, draining work whether we want to or not--and we never clock out.
In the world, we step gingerly to keep ourselves safe.
At work, we moderate our tone, explaining patiently and speaking softly.
At home, we shoulder the mental load required to keep our households running.
In relationships, we initiate the hard conversations.
Day in, day out, Women anticipate and manage the needs of others.
