Reviews

Drawing on feminism, Marxism, and capitalism, Wages for Housework is rooted in academia, but Toupin's crisp and confident writing make the book accessible to all readers with an interest in gender studies and labour history in Canada and beyond. A huge undertaking and achievement, Wages for Housework is much-needed documentation of a movement that is largely unknown. -- Jessica Rose * Rabble.ca *
