This now classic book traces the social origins of the sexual division of labor. It gives a history of the related processes of colonization and "housewifization" and extends this analysis to the contemporary new international division of labour and the role that women have to play as the cheapest producers and consumers. This new edition includes a substantial new introduction in which Mies both applies her theory to the new globalized world and answers her critics.
