On a daily basis, women shoulder much of the responsibility for meeting the needs of others. This manifests in countless ways, both at home and in the workplace. We carry the mental load required to keep our households and lives running smoothly—whether we want to or not—and this largely invisible, exhausting work is far from a typical 9-to-5. It is constant, so it’s no wonder so many women feel frustrated and depleted from pouring themselves into this often thankless role.
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with journalist Gemma Hartley and author of the book Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women and the Way Forward to talk more about the unpaid, invisible work that has left women feeling resentful and angry.
Join us in this fascinating conversation about why women are fed up and how we all (yes, you, too, men!) can create a better future for us all. Now go read the book!
Her new book No One Loves an Angry Woman is out in September 2026!
