The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic

This was good and helpful a few different ways. It isn't just about feminism but about building a more compassionate world.

Most men need to read this to know what its like to be a woman or mother. Very blunt descriptions of the life half the populations is living or has lived. Kudos to the author for putting out there the need for social change in so many areas. Very easy to read format too. I finished it while waiting during my spouses colonoscopy.

Recommended to read by my daughter, and so I ordered it. Gives me insight as father to what is important and on the mind of my daughter.

While I disagree with the CEO chapter, the chapters related to the female struggle were SPOT ON. Glad to have this in case I need to reference for others.

Honestly, this is so true. I am super torn with my rating because there are a number of factors that go into it, as it is both a graphic novel and a translation. The author also illustrated the comics and I just didn't care for it. I appreciate all of the time and effort that went into it, but the overall feel was a 2- or 3-star rating for illustrations. The text and sentiment, on the other hand, was a pure 5-star rating. Finally, this was originally written in French and then translated in this edition to English for more widespread readership. I thought the translator did a fantastic job and everything made sense.While I have never personally experienced some of the things that the author discussed, I could still see the truth of them. She tackles a lot of issues that most people would shy away from and I appreciated that. I found that it was both incredibly informative and entertaining as a result. I would highly recommend it to any adults to read, regardless of gender or where they are in their lives. I bought it for my library, read it and immediately passed it on to my co-worker, who loved it (and also thought it was so true). Some chapters will strike you down to the core and you'll want to pass them on to the people involved in the same situation as you. It makes you think and that's important. I would highly recommend this graphic novel.

This was very educational for me and moving forward I'll be sure to apply this to my life and to share this with everyone.

iconic in every sense of the word. everyone has something to learn from this magnificent comic. the way emma presents incredibly complex information in an approachable engaging way blows my mind. i look forward to her next work!

A brilliant piece. I wish there was another. I love presenting information in such a creative, funny, new and engaging way.
