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?

reviewed The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community by Mariarosa Dalla Costa (Women and the Subversion of the Community, #2)

Could be a good intro/polemic, serious holes though

2 stars

The critiques of the basic anti-feminism among leftists and labor movements is pretty solid, however as a Marxist-feminist text there's a lot of depth lacking and questionable arguments. Overall pretty underwhelming, but could be a good intro.
