Silvia Federici is a feminist writer, teacher, and militant. In 1972 she cofounded the International Feminist Collective that launched the Wages for Housework campaign. Her books include Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women; Caliban and the Witch; Re-enchanting the World;and Revolution at Point Zero.
"Federici's attempt to draw together the work of feminists and
activists 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 "It is good to think with Silvia Federici, whose
clarity of analysis and passionate vision come through in essays
that chronicle enclosure and dispossession, witch-hunting, and
other assaults against women, in the present, no less than the
past. It is even better to act armed with her insights."
--Eileen Boris, Hull Professor of Feminist Studies, University of
California-Santa Barbara "Silvia Federici's theoretical capacity to
articulate the plurality that fuels the contemporary movement of
women in struggle provides a true toolbox for building bridges
between different features and different people."
--Massimo De Angelis, professor of political economy, University of
East London
