"It’s a feminist book, but it’s also a socialist one; Emma is as ruthless in her attacks on police racism and brutality (‘The Wonderful Tale of Mohamed’, ‘Just Another Guy from the Hood’, ‘Violence of the Oppressed’) and state-sanctioned Islamophobia (‘Show Me That Bosom’) as she is on the straight-up patriarchy. And it’s an educational book as well: there’s more useful knowledge imparted here about the clitoris (‘Check Your Pussy!’) than in any sex-ed book I’ve ever seen..." - Valerie O'Riordan reviews The Mental Load by Emma
