Her shorter writings have always been informed by specific political conjunctures and struggles, and have intervened in many central debates in Marxist and socialist feminism. Despite the fact that her best-known work, Caliban and the Witch ( Federici, 2004 ), is a longer historical book, Federici is fundamentally an essayist. Her two new books form a continuation of the concerns that have animated her trajectory as an activist and scholar. Reproductive labour, the work people do to maintain the life and well-being of themselves and others, is the central topic of her writings. For decades, she has been a leading figure in feminist activism and theory-as a founding member of the Wages for Housework campaign, as an organiser for academic freedom and as one of the most important Marxist feminist theorists of social reproduction.
