Housewives toil without pay; the family home has become a private, isolated space; immigrant caregivers leave behind their own children; capitalism devalues domestic work in order to cut the cost of labor power: It's not a pretty picture, but it needs to be made visible and put into context, and Sylvia Federici has done both with distinction, over several decades of writing and activism and in her new book. (Part One of a two-part interview; Part Two airs next Tuesday.)
