In relationships, we initiate the hard conversations. At home, we shoulder the mental load required to keep our households running. At work, we moderate our tone, explaining patiently and speaking softly. In the world, we step gingerly to keep ourselves safe. We do this largely invisible, draining work whether we want to or not--and we \u003cem\u003enever\u003c\/em\u003e clock out. No wonder women everywhere are overtaxed, exhausted, and simply\u003cem\u003e fed up\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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. Now, in \u003cem\u003eFed Up\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore 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. 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. 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, \u003cem\u003eFed Up\u003c\/em\u003e is surprising, intelligent, and empathetic essential reading for every woman who has had enough with feeling fed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.9 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 09, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769607717152,"sku":"9780062856463","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d74430fc0487b2bab189c1b5b4a37173.webp?v=1780351838","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/fed-up-emotional-labor-women-and-the-way-forward-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
