Far too many of us are taught that to live a good life we need to work ourselves to the bone. Mukhopadhyay traces the origins of this myth, taking us from the 60s into the present-day through a critical overview of feminist workplace movements that got us here today, stories from her own professional experience, analysis from activists and experts, and interviews with workers of all kinds. As more individuals continue to question whether dedicating their lives to their vocation can even lead to happiness and fulfillment in the first place, Mukhopadhyay asks: What would it mean to have a liberated workplace? To answer this, Mukhopadhyay underlines where movements have fallen short in the past-and highlights where they have succeeded-and offers insights gleaned from interviews with those who have found a vision for work that feels authentically successful.
