Wage Patriarchy: Notes on Marx, Gender, and Feminism
14.99 €
The revival of interest in the works of Karl Marx against the backdrop of the social and economic upheavals of the early 21st century has prompted a rethinking and development of a number of classical Marxist concepts from the perspective of feminist criticism. Drawing on Marxist theory and methodology as a research basis, Silvia Federici suggests paying attention to gender issues that have not been sufficiently explored by the German philosopher. Federici focuses on the problem of unpaid female labor, which, in her opinion, became one of the pillars of capitalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The emergence of a family based on women's domestic labor laid the foundations for a new informal contract between the sexes and a new order, which the author calls the patriarchy of wages. The researcher shows that class struggle can also be waged within the proletariat itself, when men agree to occupy the position of state representatives in relation to women within the family (and the wider community). Silvia Federici is an American scholar, teacher, and activist, and Professor Emeritus at Hofstra University.
