Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Claim Our Power by Rose Hackman

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

I am in total awe of this book. Rose Hackman describes these concepts so succinctly; it’s so impressive & so thoroughly researched. She manages to tackle the multiple intersections of gender, ethnicity, sexuality & more when it comes to the unequal burden of emotional labour, how it touches everything we do, & most importantly, how we need to radically transform our society by truly valuing what is too often rendered invisible & unimportant. 

I learned so much. This should be required reading for everyone.
