Description
Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Claim Our Power The invisible work of emotional labor is a pervasive force in our society and economy, yet it remains largely unseen. Rose Hackman delves into the stories of hundreds of women, tracing the history of this kind of work and exposing its common manifestations. This groundbreaking book sheds light on the exhausting, draining work that women, in particular, are often expected to perform at no extra cost. From the demands of caregiving to the pressures of professional relationships, emotional labor is a ubiquitous aspect of modern life. By sharing these stories and exposing the insidious nature of emotional labor, Hackman empowers readers to combat this phenomenon and forge pathways for radical evolution, justice, and change.
