Incredible. A must read for every single person but especially women.

It's good! But I've already read the article and some other articles and was part of the MeFi discussion she talks about, and there are only so many hours in the day, so I'm not going to finish it.

I really enjoyed Hartley putting into words something I've felt like I was carrying around alone.

Really felt like this was repetitive and the narrator wasn't great. (Learn to pronounce minutiae, please.) Also focused a lot on women with kids, which on one hand makes sense. But I think it could have benefitted from talking about the emotional labor that women without kids specifically have, as well. So many people forget that adults without kids have responsibilities too.

lucibello's review against another edition
She had many valuable things to say, and she wasn't necessarily wrong. But I do think she got a little whiny, and overall I found the book completely unhelpful to me in my own attitudes as I try to maintain the world that I have created. It's easy to shift the blame on society or men, or even our upbringing as women, but we make daily decisions that have supported the carrying of the work, and we are good at it. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, and so I found the book unhelpful to me in who I am choosing to be in character and attitude. I had to stop the book.

DNF relatable, but very skimmable book that could have been a 20-pager. Autobiographical complaining about the dynamic between author and her husband. Regurgitation of her Harper Bazaar article and other authors. No real solutions or new ideas.
