Book review Essay
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
The essay should address these facets of the topic:
•relations between paid and unpaid work
•social reproduction
•challenges that equity-seeking women face in paid work and unions
•relations between women and other equity-seeking groups
•globalization
2500 words
This essay should be based on the essays in Unions, Equity, and the Path to Renewal and Silvia Federici’s Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle. This is not a combined book review; you must craft your own line of arguments.
The two books should provide you with ideas and facts to first hammer out your arguments, then get them into a consistent order, and finally support them with empirical facts. Researching other materials that speak to the essay topic is an option, but not a requirement.
