"Goodman's work is a unique contribution to materialist feminist theory, and no one other than Goodman has so clearly articulated the key theoretical dilemmas while offering specific ways to advance beyond the gaps and omissions in the existing body of research in this area." (David B. Downing, Symploke, Vol. 23 (1), 2015) "Goodman closely analyzes an impressive array of second wave and poststructuralist feminist texts, and draws cultural critique into conversation with political economy. Gender Work succeeds in setting the table for a much needed critical re-engagement with Marxism." (Susan Ferguson, Labour.Le Travail, Issue 75, 2015) "This book marks a path-breaking turn in feminist theory, where feminism illuminates the transfigured conditions of contemporary global society under neoliberalism. Goodman brilliantly restores the primacy of labor and class to feminist theory, political analysis, and social agency alike.

Her riveting analyses recasts culture and everyday life as they reframe the capital flows of globalization. What results is extraordinary: an urgent, timely, and truly global feminist theory of how women's work changes the world." - Jennifer Wicke, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Virginia, USA "Why are women's labor, time, and sociality more and more central to the workings of capitalism? Goodman's tour de force analysis of feminist and Marxian writings provides a variety of persuasive answers. Her book will be indispensable to a wide range of readers who want the most up-to-date thinking on this topic." - Andrew Ross, Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis, New York University, USA.
