The 40-hour work week was never built for women.
It was designed in a world where “someone else” was expected to handle the rest, the kids, the cooking, the care.
But what happens when that model still defines success today?
In this episode of No Wonder, we uncover how the modern idea of productivity ignores invisible labor, emotional exhaustion, and the silent expectations placed on women’s time.
We ask: what would work look like if it were built with women — not around them?
We explore:
◼️ How the 40-hour model became the invisible standard for ambition
◼️ Why burnout hits women differently
◼️ The cost of performing balance
◼️ What a feminist version of work could look like
