Biography
Lisa Leghorn and Katherine Parker
Reviews for original 1981 edition:
‘The term "economics" will never ring the same again after reading Leghorn and Parker’s book. The truths about women and labor have been buried at least as deep as the truths of our sexuality. The meaning of "women’s work" becomes beautifully and staggeringly concrete in this multi-racial, multi-ethnic view, which reveals uncompromisingly who are the true proletariat of the world.’ – Adrienne Rich
‘We have been getting used to the notion that women hold up half the sky. Apparently with half a hand. With the other hand and a half they hold up man and all his creations. This isn’t the Economics you were taught? Read this book and reteach yourself.’ – Alice Walker
