Coles The Performance Tax: The Hidden Work of Looking Right, Sounding Right, and Keeping Everyone Comfortable at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The performance tax is the hidden work women may do to be seen as competent, pleasant, polished, safe, and emotionally available. It is not one universal number. It is a way of noticing how different expectations—likability, appearance, care, risk management, and credibility—can accumulate in the same life.
In this incisive cultural critique, Nora E. Carter examines the costs that conventional advice often treats as private shortcomings. Why does directness become a tone problem? Why can "professional" become an unstable appearance standard? Why does essential coordination so often go uncredited? Why is the freedom to refuse not equally available to everyone?
With care for evidence and difference, The Performance Tax makes these questions discussable without pretending that individual women can solve structural problems alone. It offers a language for seeing the bill more clearly—and for asking who should be responsible for it.
