I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this book, but I didn’t expect to get so… angry. I almost can’t believe these first few essays were written in 1975 because they sound so current.

it's 1984 and the author reflects on the failings of the women's movement in the 1970s to 'liberate' housewives while distancing themselves from the very women they were trying to liberate.
are leftist women today repeating the same missteps with tradwives? do tradwives even want to be 'liberated'? did housewives?

I wonder what the ladies behind “Wages for Housework” would think about tradwives making money through domestic labor while preaching from the opposite side of the political spectrum.
