Insightful and airtight. Gave me a concrete framework to understand exactly how control over the domestic sphere and the woman's body is not only useful but essential to the capitalistic process.
Tiene varios detalles un tanto desordenados y de datos que me baila su veracidad. Eso no le quita valor al fondo ni al argumento, así que tampoco tiene mayor relevancia. En cambio, todos los demás están muy bien documentados en su bibliografía, que es bastante exhaustiva. Creo, además, que es una visión valiosa de alguien claramente anticapitalista, pero no comunista. Y que atina muy muy bien en sus valoraciones, que se obvian constantemente.

This year definitely saved its best for last. This long essay is essential reading for anyone interested in feminism, capitalist oppression, history and… well, for anyone period. Delightfully written, Federici fills the reader with rage without losing objectivity, explains complex relations of capital, colonialism, feminine power and the Enlightment with ease and clarity, and perfectly shows how capitalism and female oppression need to go hand in hand for this system to thrive. A life changing read if there ever was one, and a strong contender for favorite book of the year in a year of excellent reads.
I've highlighted and pawed through this so much that my copy looks like it's 26 years old.

I’m not quite smart enough to grasp every concept explored in this text, but what I did get will sit with me for a long time. Can’t wait to revisit in 5 years and pick up more genius.
Illuminating indictment of the powerful historically and continued today. Graphically described with excellent references.
