This chapter starts with a wholly valid critique of Marx, as Federici highlights that he neglected to mention “the profound transformation that capitalism introduced in the reproduction of labor-power and the social position of women” (p. 62). Federici did so by focusing on four main developments in 16th//17th century Europe (though touching upon many interwoven themes, most of which still haunt us today).

this is the most interesting book I have read in quite some time and I find myself just putting through the pages. Embarrassingly enough, I had no idea just how how much persecution heretics faced from secular leaders, nor the proliferation with which those in power gendered heresy, resulting in the “figure of the heretic increasingly [becoming] that of a woman” (p. 41). I cannot wait to read more!!

ok ignore the fact that I often type these rushed, so they are usually grammatically/structurally horrendous and at times, incoherent 👍
