WINGS
Thursday September 26th, 2024 with WINGS Producer, Frieda Werden
Selma James : Wages for Housework Co-Founder

Selma James, now 94 years old, co-founded Wages for Housework and co-ordinated the Global Women's Strike. Her books include Our Time Is Now: Sex, Race and Class and Caring for People and Planet. When she was a sprightly 83 years old, she was interviewed for WINGS by the now-late (and much lamented) Kellia Ramares-Watson. James talked about her history, analyses and theories. She and Kellia butted heads a bit over the role of money vs. the gift economy, but ended on an amicable note.
