Picchio, G. Pincelli, A Global Feminist Struggle: The Experience of the Ferrara and Modena Groups for Wages for Housework. FrancoAngeli-Badaracco Foundation, 2019
The book addresses a theme of strategic importance in feminist reflection: the relationship between productive work and reproductive work, and the invisibility (including economic) of the latter. It focuses on one of the historical moments when the Italian debate on this issue was most intense: the 1970s, within the reflections proposed by “second-wave” feminism.
