The Mental Load by Emma
In her first book of comic strips, Emma reflects on social and feminist issues by means of simple line drawings, dissecting the mental load, i.e. all that invisible and unpaid organising, list-making and planning women do to manage their lives, and the lives of their family members. In her strips Emma deals with themes ranging from maternity leave (it is not a vacation!), domestic violence, the clitoris, the violence of the medical world on women during childbirth, and other feminist issues, and she does so in a straightforward way that is both hilarious and deadly serious.
EMMA is a 36-year-old computer technician who lives in Paris but who says she learns all over the place. She podcasts programs for the radio station France Culture, and her comics run in The Guardian. A former member of the collective Stop harcü¾Ž†”¼lement de rue (Stop Street Harassment), she is confident that her feminist beliefs have now made it onto the information superhighway for good.
