Labour Day Sale
To celebrate Labour Day this year, Between the Lines is offering a 20% discount sale on all of our Labour and Work titles.
Whether you are interested in Canadian labour history, housework and social reproduction, university struggles, or the “cyber proletariat”, our backlist of labour books has a little bit of something for everyone.
Cyber-Proletariat
Global Labour in the Digital Vortex
Labour Day is, for example, a great time to think about how, though we may not all be working from home anymore, many of us still work for the home with our unpaid social reproduction. We have a growing selection of books on gender and women’s work, such as Susan Ferguson’s Women and Work: Feminism, Labour, and Social Reproduction; Karen Messing’s Bent out of Shape: Shame, Solidarity, and Women’s Bodies at Work; and, most recently, Patriarchy of the Wage: Notes on Marx, Gender, and Feminism, the latest from Marxist-feminist thinker Silvia Federici.

Feminism, Labour, and Social Reproduction
You can also check out our series of graphic novels on labour history by the Graphic History Collective; learn about the historic fight to get sexual harrassment in the workplace addressed in Bonnie Robichaud's memoir It Should Be Easy to Fix; or read up on labour struggles in education with Andy Hanson’s Class Action: How Ontario’s Elementary Teachers Became a Political Force - just to name a few!
