Emotions can be difficult things to define, yet we all recognise them when we feel them or see them in others. How we interpret those emotions and act on them has been heavily gendered, as far back Ancient Greek and Roman times and - despite the improvements in societal equality today - continues to be today. We've all heard the sayings that girls should be 'sugar and spice and all things nice', while 'boys don't cry'. In Hysterical, Pragya Agarwal dives deep into the history and science that has determined the gendering of emotions to ask whether there is any truth in the notion of innate differences between the male and female experience of emotions. She examines the impact this has on men and women - especially the role it has played in the subjugation of women throughout history - and how a future where emotions are ungendered might look.

Reseñas de la crítica

Anytime Dr Pragya Agarwal writes something, I want to read it. Her words illuminate the hidden patterns of bias and therefore injustice that impact us. This book will make you question everything you thought you knew about emotions (yours and other people's) and make you want to reclaim your emotions as an integral part of your full humanity. Once again, Pragya has shown us that when we understand history and science, we can create a better future (LAYLA F. SAAD, author of Me and White Supremacy)
A necessary, thought-provoking book that demands we urgently rethink the terms of the debate on gender and emotion (DR TIFFANY WATT SMITH, author of The Book of Emotions)
Praise for (M)otherhood: An exhilarating, genre-defying read . . . seamlessly interwoven with statistics, quotes and scientific evidence to clever narrative effect . . . reminiscent of Olivia Laing's writing on loneliness or the body . . . The whole thing adds up to the most thoughtful, empathic and inspiring science of the self (VIV GROSKOP)
Absolutely sensational. Revelatory and of its time, challenging myths and ingrained perceptions. I could not put it down. Everyone should read this (MICHAEL CASHMAN, CBE, co-founder of Stonewall)
Brilliant, brave, beautiful . . . such an inspiring book (ELIF SHAFAK)
Riveting. Agarwal writes with searing honesty and tenderness about the joys and agonies of becoming a mother, of trying and failing to conceive again, and then of pursuing a route to motherhood that's widely seen as taboo . . . Agarwal writes beautifully about her own complicated experience
Intimate and insightful, Pragya Agarwal expands the meaning of the word motherhood in this brilliant book. This is urgent, essential reading for everyone (AVNI DOSHI)
A wide-ranging, searingly honest and timely intervention into the framing of a fundamental and fraught choice, as well as an impassioned defence of ambivalence as part of the human condition (OLIVIA SUDJIC)
(M)otherhood is a valuable step towards a literature that acknowledges the breadth and variety of the parenting experience and its cultural meanings. It is touchingly personal and brave (ANGELA SAINI, author of Superior: The Return of Race Science)
Powerful and compelling . . . Agarwal is a precise, elegant writer who seeks answers by embracing complexity
