"Kathi Week's excellent book shows us that the project to build a post-work society is a feminist project, one that understands that the real liberation of labor must be the liberation from labor." Antonio Negri, co-author Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth "Less work or better work? Should alienated labor be a focus of political economic critique or is it more important to question the centrality of work to life and productivity to self-worth? Kathi Weeks builds a feminist political theory of work from these questions. The result is a provocative argument that not only sheds new light on Second Wave feminism by putting the 1970's demand for wages for housework in dialogue with autonomist Marxism, but reminds that tradition of its debts to feminist theory and activism." Lisa Disch, University of Michigan"The Problem of Work is one of the most exciting and original works of social theory that I have read in a great many years. Kathi Weeks's argument is daring and extremely well executed, and her book is remarkable for its clarity, compulsive readability, and insightful synthesis of critical social theories. This is a truly wonderful book."-Judith Grant, author of Fundamental Feminism: Contesting the Core Concepts of Feminist Theory.
