Federici carefully examines feminist questions and in the process has provided an expansive redefinition of work, class, and class-gender relations. Seeking to delineate the specific character of capitalist 'patriarchalism', this original approach also highlights Marx's and the Marxist tradition's problematic view of industrial production and the State in the struggle for human liberation.

Reviews for Patriarchy of the Wage: Notes on Marx, Gender, and Feminism

Silvia Federici's work embodies an energy that urges us to rejuvenate struggles against all types of exploitation and, precisely for that reason, her work produces a common: a common sense of the dissidence that creates a community in struggle. --Maria Mies, coauthor of Ecofeminism Federici has become a crucial figure for young Marxists, political theorists, and a new generation of feminists. --Rachel Kushner author of The Flamethrowers Federici's attempt to draw together the work of feminists and activist from different parts of the world and place them in historical context is brave, thought-provoking and timely. Federici's writing is lucid and her fury palpable. --Red Pepper Real transformations occur when the social relations that make up everyday life change, when there is a revolution within and across the stratifications of the social body.... Silvia Federici offers the kind of revolutionary perspective that is capable of revealing the obstacles that stand in the way of such change. --Feminist Review Reading Federici empowers us to reconnect with what is at the core of human development, women's labor-intensive caregiving--a radical rethinking of how we live. --Z Magazine
