The popular understanding of the 'mental load' often reduces it down to managing a list of household chores and logistics. Sociologist Leah Ruppanner reveals that for women, mental load actually goes much deeper: it's a complex form of emotional labour that requires thinking five steps ahead, keeping relationships intact, creating experiences that keep all members of the family happy and thriving, and more. In Drained, Ruppanner outlines the 8 distinct types of mental load performed across 7 unique stages, highlighting what makes the mental load so uniquely heavy for women. But what if we stop blaming ourselves and instead make practical, impactful changes to our lives to prioritize our energy? With eye-opening, research-based insights, Drained offers a powerful toolkit to help women create richer, less overwhelming lives filled with more meaning and joy.

In the absence of federal legislation, each state in the United States has its own policies regarding family leave, job protection for women and childcare. No wonder working mothers encounter such a significant disparity when it comes to childcare resources in America! Whereas conservative states like Nebraska offer affordable, readily available, and high quality childcare, progressive states that advocate for women’s economic and political power, like California, have expensive childcare, shorter school days, and mothers who are more likely to work part-time or drop out of the labor market altogether to be available for their children. In Motherlands, Leah Ruppanner cogently argues that states should look to each other to fill their policy voids. She provides suggestions and solutions for policy makers interested in supporting working families. Whether a woman lives in a state with stronger childcare or gender empowerment regimes, at stake is mothers’ financial dependence on their partners. Ruppanner advocates for reducing the institutional barriers mothers face when re-entering the workforce. As a result, women would have greater autonomy in making employment decisions following childbirth.
