Emily Callaci wants Wages for Housework

Emily Callaci wants Wages for Housework

Like many new parents, Emily Callaci - writer and professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison - was amazed by the amount of housework that came with looking after small children. Her new book, Wages for Housework, is a history of the fascinating movement of the same name and explores how feminists before her have approached the dilemma of under-valued and unpaid work. Jen caught up with Emily to talk about the movement, why we could do with it making a comeback, and how different the world might look if essential work was valued differently. Wages for Housework is available now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
