Silvia B. Federici

Silvia B. Federici is an Italian-American scholar, activist, and feminist known for her work on the intersection of gender, capitalism, and social change. Her research explores how economic systems, especially capitalism, shape gender roles and reproductive labor—work like childcare and housework that traditionally supports families but is often undervalued. Federici advocates for collective organizing and reproductive rights to challenge oppressive structures and promote social justice. Her writings, including the influential book "Revolution at Point Zero," emphasize the importance of community and activism in transforming society toward greater equality and autonomy.
