The Revolutionary Body & the Marxist Feminism of Wages for Housework, WITCH, and the Third World Women’s Alliance

The Revolutionary Body traces three Marxist feminist groups which emerged in the late 1960s and organized through the 1970s: Wages for Housework, the Third World Women’s Alliance, and WITCH. These three groups have yet to be combined in secondary historical scholarship, and their grouping here evidences similarities in anti-capitalist organizing across demographic differences. This project delves into the groups’ conceptions of the home and the body as dual sites of oppression and sources of liberation. Through studying such issues as imprisonment, housework, and forced sterilization, this project uncovers the intensity of capitalist violence unto the body and the ensuing mysticism revolutionary women’s bodies were seen to hold.
