Title: Doing the Dirty Work?
Description: "There has been a tendency amongst feminists to see domestic work as the great leveller, a common burden imposed on all women equally by patriarchy. This unique study of migrant domestic workers in the North uncovers some uncomfortable facts about the race and class aspects of domestic oppression. Based on original research, it looks at the racialisation of paid domestic labour in the North - a phenomenon which challenges both the industrial democracies' own self-image as equitable societies generally, and feminism in particular."--Jacket.
