A widely influential analysis of the body, gender, and social reproduction in the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Federici traces the violent restructuring of women's roles through peasant revolts, the witch hunts of early modern Europe, and the rise of the nuclear family. The book demonstrates how the repression of women, enclosure of communal lands, and the criminalization of non-productivist sexuality were central to the making of the capitalist world system. Offering a feminist perspective on primitive accumulation, Federici’s study is a classic text for research on gender, labour, and global capitalism.
