Wages Against Housework
Wages Against Housework
”In 1975, scholar and activist Silvia Federici published a short book called Wages Against Housework, which explored the social consequences of domestic labor––historically considered women’s work. Federici advocates for wages for domestic labor, arguing that housework is a pervasive manipulation perpetrated against the working class.” The book investigates housework as an unpaid violence against women, coded through female exploitation and social constructs.
