Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation by Silvia Federici
Explore the radical history of capitalism's origins through the lens of women's bodies and resistance. Silvia Federici traces the violent transition from feudalism to capitalism—from medieval peasant revolts to the brutal witch-hunts—revealing how the control of women's labor, reproduction, and bodies laid the groundwork for modern exploitation and the mechanization of life.

- The capitalist attack on social reproduction and women's reproductive rights
- The separation of body and mind as key to creating disciplined wage labor
- Links between gender oppression, primitive accumulation, and enclosure of commons
- Why feminist and anti-capitalist struggles are deeply interconnected

Anyone interested in feminist theory, Marxist history, or the roots of capitalism and patriarchy. Perfect if you enjoy radical scholarship like The Second Sex, critiques of power and the body, or works challenging mainstream economic history—essential for activists, scholars, or book clubs exploring gender and class.
