Summary	Day in, day out, women anticipate and manage the needs of others. At home, we shoulder the mental load required to keep our households running. At work, we moderate our tone, explaining patiently and speaking softly. No wonder women everywhere are overtaxed, exhausted, and simply fed up. Hartley gives voice to the frustration and anger of performing thankless emotional labor. She illuminates how this fuels gender inequality, limits our opportunities, steals our time, and adversely affects the quality of our lives, offering an insightful guide to striking real balance, for true partnership in every aspect of our lives. -- adapted from jacket
