A new voice in comics is incisive, funny, and fiercely feminist.The mental load. Its incessant, gnawing, exhausting, and disproportionately falls to women. You know the sceneyoure making dinner, calling the plumber/doctor/mechanic, checking homework and answering work emailsat the same time. All the while, you are being peppered with questions by your nearest and dearest where are my shoes?, do we have any cheese?... Australian Broadcasting Corp on Emmas comicIn her first book of comic strips, Emma reflects on social and feminist issues by means of simple line drawings, dissecting the mental load, ie all that invisible and unpaid organizing, listmaking and planning women do to manage their lives, and the lives of their family members. Most of us carry some form of mental loadabout our work, household responsibilities, financial obligations and personal life; but what makes up that burden and how its distributed within households and understood in offices is not always equal or fair. 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.. If youre not laughing, youre probably crying in recognition. Emmas comics also address the everyday outrages and absurdities of immigrant rights, income equality, and police violence.Emma has over 300,000 followers on Facebook, her comics have been. shared 215,000 times, and have elicited comments from 21,000 internet users. An article about her in the French magazine LExpress drew 1.8 million viewsa record since the site was created. And her comic has just been picked up by The Guardian. Many women will recognize themselves in THE MENTAL LOAD, which is sure to stir a wide ranging, important debate on what it really means to be a woman today.
