Embodied Labor

Embodied Labor is a theoretical construct within materialist feminism that refers to the socially and economically productive activities inseparable from the human body, particularly women's reproductive and care work, which are materially grounded in bodily presence and affective engagement, distinguishing it from abstract or alienated forms of labor in capitalist economies.
