The Arcana of Reproduction: Housewives, Prostitutes, Workers and Capital

＂Transforms how we analyze the sphere of reproduction, redefining the value of the individual’s life and the labor performed in the home.＂--

Leopoldina Fortunati was a core member of Lotta Femminsta and the Wages for Housework Movement internationally. Along with Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Selma James and Silvia Federici, she composed many of the group’s core theoretical and political texts. Her early work continues to inform movements concerned with struggles over reproduction globally and in subsequent work as a theorist of media and technology, Fortunati has been at the vanguard of contemporary theory addressing the relation between gendered labor and technology.
