"What matters is it's [Wages for Housework] political genesis, which is the refusal to see work, exploitation, and the power to revolt against it only in the presence of a wage... to not see women's work in the home is to be blind to the work and struggles of the overwhelming majority of the world's population that is wageless. It is to ignore that American capital was built on slave labor as well as waged labor and, up to this day, it thrives on the unwaged labor of millions of women and men in the fields, kitchens, and prisons of the United States and throughout the world." Silvia Federici (with Nicole Cox) in COUNTERPLANNING FROM THE KITCHEN
