Hartley, Gemma, 1988-2020
Books, Manuscripts
Gemma Hartley wrote an article in Harper's Bazaar in September 2017 called 'Women Aren't Nags - We're Just Fed Up', which instantly went viral. The piece, and this book, is about 'emotional labour', i.e. the unpaid, often unnoticed work, done by women, that goes into keeping everyone comfortable and happy. 'Fed Up' tackles the hard-hitting issues surrounding emotional labour: the historical underpinnings and roots in feminism, the benefits and burdens of this kind of effort, and the specific contexts where emotional labour plays a major but undervalued role, including relationships, work, sex, parenting, politics and self-care. Dubbed as the next feminist frontier, emotional labour couldn't be more relevant to these times we're living in. 'Fed Up' is a must-read for those who want to harness the power of emotional labour and create a more connected, equal world.
