Revolutionary feminism is resurging across the world. But what were
its origins? In the early 1970s, the International Feminist
Collective began to organise around the call for recognition of the
different forms of labour performed by women. They paved the way
for the influential and controversial feminist campaign 'Wages for
Housework' which made great strides towards driving debates in
social reproduction and the gendered aspects of labour. Drawing on
extensive archival research, Louise Toupin looks at the history of
this movement between 1972 and 1977, featuring unpublished
conversations with some of its founders including Silvia Federici
and Mariarosa Dalla Costa, as well as activists from Italy,
Germany, Switzerland, the United States and Canada. Encompassing
rich theoretical traditions, including autonomism, anti-colonialism
and feminism, whilst challenging both classical Marxism and the
mainstream women's movement, the book highlights the power and
originality of the campaign. Among their many innovations, these
pathbreaking activists approached gender, sexuality, race and class
together in a way that anticipated intersectionality and had a
radical new understanding of sex work.
