"If they have no bread, let them eat food banks -- that's Thatcherism, the legacy we are still to bury before it buries us." - Selma James

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, donut shops always had the same coffee makers as gas stations; now "Donut Shop" is a special coffee flavor. WTF?

Before reading this Selma James book, I hadn't encountered much mention of WFH (Wages for Housework) in previous feminist literature. I had encountered racial and class divisions in the previous feminist literature, but this presented a whole new level of class division. I strongly agree with the WFH campaign. Even though I would never classify such work as "women's work" (except for the child bearing aspect), it still largely falls to women by tradition and (in some countries) mandate.
