Abstract: Hortensia is 53 years old and lives in "El Puesto", a small Catamarca town in one of the most beautiful areas of Argentina. She is Mapuche, born in the south, but since she was a girl she was taken to be the "maid" of a family. Today she is a caregiver and maintains her employers' farm and house. It's been 40 years, but Hortensia never received payment for her work.
