Title
Hidden in the Household: Women's Domestic Labour Under Capitalism
Abstract
The writers came together in the fall of 1977 to carry forward the discussion of domestic labour that began with such a promise in the late 1960s. In so doing, we hoped to develop the Marxist theory of women's oppression that is essential in the struggle for women's liberation. --From Editor's introduction
