The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic by Emma

reflective fast-paced

3.5

Not what I expected in some ways! I thought this book would solely be focused on gender roles both at home and in the work place, but this book expands to many other topics (some that felt kind of random). Kind of felt disjointed at times, and the drawing style wasn’t my favorite. The translation seemed good but I wonder if it might have had more of an impact in its originally published language. Some chapters that really stood out to me include: .”You Should’ve Asked,” “The Story of My Friend C.,” and “The Male Gaze.”Overall, I think this book addressed a lot of important topics in a digestible way.
