The author of The Mental Load returns with more ""visual essays which are transformative agents of change.""

After the success of The Mental Load, Emma continues in her new book to tangle with issues pertinent to women's experiences, from consent to the ""power of love,"" from the care and attentiveness that women place on others' wellbeing and social cohesion, and how it constitutes another burden on women, to contraception, to the true nature of gallantry, from the culture of rape to diets, from safety in public spaces to retirement, along with social issues such as police violence, women's rights, and green capitalism. And, once more, she hits the mark.

Her subjects range from politics, feminism, the workplace, the environment and a wide range of current social issues. Her goal is to get her readers to think by themselves. Emma currently lives in Paris and also works as a software engineer. emmaclit.com UNA DIMITRIJEVIĆ was born in Bosnia, grew up in Scotland, and now lives in France. She translates from Serbo-Croat and French into English. Her translation of The Mental Load- A Feminist Comic was published by Seven Stories Press in 2018.

Reviews for The Emotional Load

Don't be fooled by the simplicity of these drawings. With each stroke of the pencil, Emma tears at the patriarchy and tarnishes the veneer of a society whose injustices she denounces. --Elle (France) Emma makes feminist ideas accessible. --Femme actuelle
