I LOVE NON-FICTION! Honestly this book had everything i want in a non-fiction right now, a lovely mix of discussions on history, politics, philosophy, art and literature and law. Touched on so many important concepts in the processes of capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, power struggles and counter-/revolution. Just made me happy and engaged, easy to read and follow, was like reading a story but the story was real life. I just love learning and I really really enjoyed this book. Would recommend to anyone wanted to gain a far-reaching, vast breadth of knowledge of just history with a feminist, woman-focused slant that is so often missed and undervalued.

Best book I've read this year so far. Federici is revolutionary and brilliant, and completely opened my mind to a history of capitalism, witchcraft, and New America. Her brilliant genealogy provides the supreme rebuttal to the idea that capitalism was inevitable.
I love this text so much and will undoubtedly return to it for research and my own work!

'Why such a change in the trajectory from heresy to witchcraft? Why, in other words, in the course of a century, did the heretic become a woman, and why was religious and social transgression refocused as predominantly a reproductive crime?'
... i'm not beating the witch allegations

"Se é verdade que na sociedade capitalista a identidade sexual se transformou na portadora de funções laborais específicas, então o género não deveria ser considerado uma realidade estritamente cultural, mas deveria ser tratado como uma especificação das relações de classe (...)
Se a feminilidade foi construída na sociedade capitalista como função laboral que oculta a produção da força de trabalho a coberto de um destino biológico, então a história das mulheres é um história de classe, e a questão que tem de ser posta é se a divisão sexual do trabalho que produziu esse conceito específico foi transcendida."

Nunca jamás en la vida me hubiera planteado la relación que tuvo la imposición del capitalismo con la caza de brujas y el colonialismo de no haber sido por este libro… Me han encantado el enfoque feminista que le ha dado al hablar del capitalismo como la privatización de nuestros cuerpos. AAAA qué bueno.
