In September 2017, Gemma Hartley penned an article for Harper's Bazaar titled "Women Aren't Nags - We're Just Fed Up," which swiftly gained widespread attention and went viral. The article, along with this book, delves into the concept of emotional labor, referring to the unrecognized and unpaid effort and work that is expended to ensure the comfort and happiness of those around us.
The Problem That Had No Name explores the profound implications of emotional labor, shedding light on its historical roots in feminism, its potential benefits and burdens, and the specific contexts in which it plays a significant yet often undervalued role. This book addresses a range of issues, including relationships, work, sex, parenting, politics, and self-care, highlighting the ways in which emotional labor shapes our interactions and experiences.
Through insightful analysis and compelling anecdotes, The Problem That Had No Name offers a comprehensive examination of this often overlooked aspect of human interaction. It challenges societal norms and encourages readers to reevaluate the ways in which they contribute to emotional labor and to explore more equitable and fulfilling ways of relating to others. Whether you are a professional, a parent, a partner, or simply someone who cares about social justice and human well-being, this book provides valuable insights and tools for navigating the complexities of emotional labor in our lives.
