The Wages for Housework Movement

<p>In this episode, Eva tells Emma about the 1970's "Wages for Housework" movement, an international campaign calling for housework and care work to be compensated. They discuss the movement's radical grassroots origins, different feminist perspectives on the gendered division of labour, and the legacy of the movement in today's working and home life. Digressions include conversations about training squirrels and cleaning up roommate's beard hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Follow us on social media:<br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gender.troubles.pod/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/gendertroubles1?s=20" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gendertroublespod/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p> <p>Support us on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/gender_troubles" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a></p> <p>We are a proud member of the <a href="https://harbingermedianetwork.com/show/gender-troubles/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Harbinger Media Network</a></p> <p>Reading List:</p> <p>Wendy Edmond, <a href="https://archive.org/details/allworknopaywom00edmo/page/n5/mode/2up">All Work and No Pay : women, housework, and the wages due</a></p> <p>Silvia Federici, <a href="https://caringlabor.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/federici-wages-against-housework.pdf">Wages Against Housework</a></p> <p>Ruth Schwartz Cowan,<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780465047321"> More Work For Mother&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Louise Toupin, <a href="https://www.plutobooks.com/blog/wages-housework-campaign-history/">The History of Wages for Housework</a></p> <p>Gender difference in <a href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/89-503-x/2015001/article/54931-eng.htm">housework</a> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/01/25/for-american-couples-gender-gaps-in-sharing-household-responsibilities-persist-amid-pandemic/">stats&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Mariarosa Dalla C
