Calibán Y La Bruja by Silvia Federici
Mujeres, Cuerpo y Acumulación Originaria
This thought-provoking work delves into the historical roots of capitalism, exploring how the transition from feudalism to capitalism was deeply intertwined with the subjugation and exploitation of women. It examines the witch hunts of the early modern period as a pivotal moment in this transformation, arguing that these persecutions were not merely a result of superstition but were instrumental in reshaping social and economic structures. The narrative highlights how the control over women's bodies and labor was central to the development of capitalist economies, offering a feminist perspective on the historical processes that shaped modern society.
