I will fight anyone who says Wages for Housework relegated women to the domestic sphere or that it perpetuated capitalism!! More on this from Judith Ramirez, a Toronto based leader of the international WFH campaign, here: https://t.co/VSqUMxCTKO

[Julia Aguiar @Jules_Eh]

So exciting! The timing could not be more perfect as Wages for Housework celebrates its 50th anniversary this month!

[Rise Up Feminist Digital Archive @RiseUpArchive]
