The riveting story of a radical campaign to change the way we value workWomen do more than threequarters of all the worlds unpaid care work, contributing over $9 trillion to the global economy each year. Dishes dont clean themselves; dinner is not magically made; children must be cared for. But why is this work not compensated?Wages for Housework is the fascinating international story of Selma James, Silvia Federici, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Wilmette Brown, and Margaret Prescod, whose movement demanded wages as a starting point for remaking the world as we know it. Drawing on their campaigns roots in 1970s America, Italy, and the UK, with original archival research and interviews, historian Emily Callaci explores the revolutionary potential of paying women for their work in the home, and how Wages for Housework reimagined potential futures under capitalismand beyondin ways that continue to be relevant today.Wages for Housework is an essential feminist history of an overlooked movement for economic and social justice.

I picked up 'Wages for Housework' after hearing about its impact on feminist discussions. The arguments around unpaid labor are so relevant today, and the writing is sharp and engaging. This book is perfect for anyone looking to dive into the nuances of feminist theory and activism.

Not what I expected
Honestly, I was disappointed with 'Wages for Housework'. The material felt repetitive and some arguments were hard to follow. I had hoped for a more cohesive narrative about the feminist fight against unpaid labor, but it missed the mark for me. Wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for something engaging.

Interesting, but a bit dated
While I appreciated the historical context provided in 'Wages for Housework', some parts felt a bit outdated. It highlights important issues about labor that still resonate today, but I wish there was more modern analysis included. Still worth the read for anyone interested in women's rights!
