The "illuminating, honest, nuanced" (Robin D. G. Kelley) story of a radical campaign to change the way we value work
Women do more than three-quarters of all the world's unpaid care work, contributing over $9 trillion to the global economy each year. Dishes don't clean themselves; dinner is not magically made; children must be cared for. But why is this work not compensated? Wages for Housework is the fascinating international story of Selma James, Silvia Federici, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Wilmette Brown, and Margaret Prescod, whose movement demanded wages as a starting point for remaking the world as we know it. Drawing on their campaign's roots in 1970s America, Italy, and the UK, with original archival research and interviews, historian Emily Callaci explores the revolutionary potential of paying women for their work in the home, and how Wages for Housework reimagined potential futures under capitalism--and beyond--in ways that continue to be relevant today. Wages for Housework is an essential feminist history of an overlooked movement for economic and social justice.Author: Emily Callaci

Bought this for my son's junior prom and it looked so good on him. I had to get a few alterations done because it was a bit too big for him but all in all great quality for the price.

Show stopper!
Size: X-Small, Color: Blue-2 Pieces, Size: X-Small, Color: Blue-2 Pieces
This jacket is everything! My son wore it to his football banquet and it looked amazing. I was worried because he is big for his age and although he can wear men sizes, they can sometimes be too long in the arms. This jacket did not disappoint. It fit his arms well, buttoned up nice and was a great length. It was a nice feel and was not overbearing and thick, but made well. He did a lot of moving around but had no issue with feeling tight it’s certain movements or any rip. I would definitely recommend, money well spent. For reference, my son is 5’1 and 125 pounds. We got a size XS.
