A time of crises and the global expansion of capitalist relations calls for a rethinking of Marx's work from a feminist perspective. Silvia Federici, the most significant Marxist feminist of our time, explores why Marx and the Marxist tradition were so relentless in their critique of the exploitation of human labor under capitalism, while being blind to the work and struggles of women in reproduction. And why was Marx unable to comprehend the profound changes that proletarian families underwent, which created a new capitalist patriarchal regime? In her essays, published here for the first time in German, she provides an extensive redefinition of labor, class, and gender relations. Focusing on the importance of reproductive labor not only serves to critique the Marxist tradition but also expresses her tumultuous desire for a new, different communism.
