Selma James, now 94 years old, co-founded Wages for Housework and coordinated the Global Women’s Strike; her books include “Our Time Is Now: Sex, Race and Class” and “Caring for People and Planet”. Ten years ago, an 83 year old Selma James spoke to San Francisco-based journalist Kellia Ramares-Watson about analysis and theories. During the discussion, Kellia and Selma butted heads a bit over the role of money vs. the gift economy, but ended on an amicable note.
