The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic

Since 2018, Seven Stories Press has published The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic, a single-issue work by writer and artist Emma (Una Dimitrijevic). This comic translates the invisible, emotionally taxing weight of domestic and social responsibilities into clear, resonant visual metaphors. It matters as a defining text in modern feminist comics, turning a widely felt but rarely named experience into a powerful, accessible piece of graphic journalism.
