Drawing on their campaign's roots in 1970s America, Italy, and the UK, with original archival research and interviews, historian Emily Callaci explores the revolutionary potential of paying women for their work in the home, and how Wages for Housework reimagined potential futures under capitalism--and beyond--in ways that continue to be relevant today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWages for Housework\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential feminist history of an overlooked movement for economic and social justice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Callaci\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of history at University of Wisconsin-Madison and an affiliate of the Program of Gender and Women's Studies.
