If you’ve ever been praised for “keeping it all together” while silently managing everyone’s needs, deadlines, moods, meals, and memories—you’re not alone. You’re doing emotional labor.
In this groundbreaking and relatable book, Dr. Regina Lark—a feminist historian and professional organizer—explores the invisible, undervalued work that keeps families functioning and businesses running. From managing school schedules and sick days to navigating office dynamics and team morale, emotional labor is everywhere… and too often, it falls on women.
Blending sharp historical analysis with present-day insight, Emotional Labor traces how gender roles and workplace culture have normalized the unequal distribution of the mental load. Whether you're a busy parent, burned-out professional, people-first manager, or someone simply tired of being the default person who “just handles it”—this book is for you.
With humor, heart, and practical strategies, Dr. Lark offers a wake-up call and a roadmap. Emotional labor isn’t soft—it’s structural. It’s not “just women’s work”—it’s real work. And recognizing it is the first step toward rebalancing power at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
Perfect for fans of Fair Play, Fed Up, and Invisible Women—and essential reading for anyone seeking work-life balance, gender equity, or healthier leadership.
