Author Interview - Rose Hackman

Rose Hackman is a British journalist based in Detroit. Her work on gender, race, labor, policing, housing and the environment—published in The Guardian—has brought international attention to overlooked American policy issues, historically entrenched injustices, and complicated social mores. Rose's book, Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Claim Our Power (bookshop.org)(libro.fm) is a deeply-researched foray into the invisible, uncompensated work women perform every day—and a profound call to action. Emotional Labor is one of Friendly City Books's bestselling books of 2023 and was previously featured on our "Friendly City Bestsellers April - June 2023" podcast episode. - We have a limited number of signed copies of Emotional Labor available for purchase in store and at friendlycitybooks.com. - Earlier this year, Rose came to Columbus, MS to give the annual Nell Peel Wolfe Lecture at Mississippi University for Women.
