作品简介
我们几乎每天都要被迫调整自己的喜怒哀乐，以便为他人提供“情绪价值”。特别是女性群体，会被更多地要求完成这项没有报酬且令人筋疲力尽的工作。
罗斯·哈克曼将案例研究和统计数据结合起来，以此揭示情绪劳动在社会中的普遍现象，并探究情绪劳动在两性间的不平等现象——女性被期待承担更多的情绪劳动。同时，她进一步阐述了女性群体在父权制社会的弱势处境。此外，她还探讨了情绪劳动背后的本质原因和解决方案，为我们指明改变现状的道路。
情绪劳动是真实存在的，但它不需要成为心理负担。认识到情绪劳动的价值，是全人类获得自由的关键。

Introduction of works
We are forced to adjust our emotions almost every day in order to provide "emotional value" to others. Women, in particular, are more likely to be asked to perform this unpaid and exhausting work.
Ross Hackman combines case studies with statistics to reveal the prevalence of emotional labor in society and to explore the gender inequality of emotional labor - women are expected to do more of it. At the same time, she further elaborated the vulnerable situation of women in the patriarchal society. In addition, she explores the underlying causes and solutions behind emotional labor, showing us the way to change the status quo.
Emotional labor is real, but it doesn't have to be a psychological burden. Recognizing the value of emotional labor is the key to freedom for all mankind.
