Theory & Philosophy Reading Group XX: Teresa Amott & Julie Matthaei

In September, the Direct Action Monterey Network is putting on the 20th theory and philosophy reading group, continuing their study of Marxist-Feminist thought through the exploration of a work by Teresa Amott and Julie Matthaei.

Date: 30 September 2016
Time: 7pm
Location: Old Capitol Books, 559 Tyler Street, Monterey

We will be reading and discussing their book Race, Gender and Work: A Multi-Cultural Economic History of Women in the United States (1991).

"Race, Gender, and Work traces women’s lives through the dynamic and complicated process which economists have called capitalist development. It uncovers the multiplicity and diversity of women’s work contributions, both paid and unpaid, to our economic history."

We will be reading the introduction, and the chapter “Race, Class, Gender, and Women’s Works: A Conceptual Framework”. They will be available to download on the website soon.
