JOCELYN OLCOTT, SURFING THE NEW WAVE: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S YEAR
AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF 1970S MEXICAN FEMINISM
Concha Michel, a one-time Communist who
became an icon of maternalist feminism and
a vocal advocate for recognizing the economic
importance of subsistence labors, is
under contract with Duke University Press.
The book follows Michel’s life story from the
late nineteenth century to the late twentieth
to examine the ways that the concept, labor,
and policies surrounding “motherhood”
articulated with major shifts in political-economic
thought. She has also embarked on
an international, interdisciplinary project
centered on rethinking the value of care labors
broadly speaking, including not only
dependent and household care but also, for
example, environmental, community, cultural,
and sexual care.
