Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate
relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation
state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism

A groundbreaking work . . . Federici has become a crucial figure
for young Marxists, political theorists, and a new generation of
feminists . . . a true radical who has lived by her political
commitments, not just to women but against all forms of
exploitation

It is both a passionate work of memory recovered and a hammer of
humanity's agenda
