Product Description
A superb introduction to the prospect of opening our idea of the working class to include non-waged workers, specifically women who work in the home. A simple idea with profound revolutionary consequences. If the workers of the world are not all in the factory, and are not all men, where does that leave us?

Feminism wasn't just N.O.W. and Betty Friedan, 2002-10-07
This book contains the work of two of the most astute writers on women, gender and power within the Marxist tradition. Unlike most works, this text engages with gender relations as they specifically take shape under capitalism, as shaped by the capital-labor relation.

Clear, easy to read, and engaging, this book takes a very different approach to sex and class from most other feminist works. This was the early theoretical expression of the section of the Women's Movement demanding Wages for Housework and it contains a biting critique not simply of sexual oppression, but of the capital-labor relation.

If you read no other work on sexual relations from a Marxist perspective, read this. then get Fortunati's book The Arcane of Reproduction, which develops these arguments in novel ways.
