The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic by Emma

Did not finish book.

I've never been so annoyed by a font in a comic book. It's a remarkably poor choice, and I'm disappointed that the author, the editors, and the press let the book go out looking like this. It does the entire book a huge disservice. Also, the page numbers are in the gutter of the book, instead of the outside corners, where they'd be easier to read. Whoever designed the layout for this book needs to take another online course on publishing because most high school zines copied at Staples are put together better than this Seven Stories book.

The stories vary in quality. I enjoyed the stories where Emma focused on world events more than her daily routine comics. But the more mommy blog aspects, in addition to the aforementioned amateur design problems made this book a chore to read.

I recommend it for privileged white mommies who like loopy cursive and whining more than the feminism promised on the cover.
