Through several world conferences, for example, they presented themselves as the representation of the women of the world and of what feminism is or not. Silvia Federici (2014)įederici also denounces the intervention of some international organizations (like de UN) in the feminist agenda and policies with the objective of using feminism to promote neoliberalism and to counteract the subversive potential of the women’s movement in terms of, for example, the fight against sexual division of work and against all exploitation mechanisms.

The fact that men do not have economic power and at the same time women claim greater autonomy has created forms of male violence against women that can be seen throughout the world. That women have more autonomy has created tensions and an increase in male violence. On the other hand, the employment and salary crisis creates new tensions between women and men. Most women work outside the home but are still in charge of this work and have to absorb this part of tasks that were previously public. In his work, Federici analyzes capitalism and wage and reproductive work from a gender perspective and denounces that the body of women is the last frontier of capitalism.
