On October 29, 2025, Professor Emily Callaci‘s lecture “Wages for Housework: The History of a Movement” was filmed by University Place for PBS Wisconsin. In this lecture, Professor Callaci tells the story of a global network of feminists who came together in the 1970s to campaign for wages for housework. She draws on extensive archival research to tell the story of this forgotten movement. The episode is available to view online at pbswisconsin.org/university-place.
The wages for housework movement is the subject of Professor Callaci’s book, Wages for Housework: The Story of a Movement, an Idea, a Promise (Penguin UK/Seal USA, 2025).
