Interesting stories about a crucial topic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This well-written book examines a crucial topic that we know little. I especially like Chapter Five--it reveals many interesting--sometimes sad-- stories the hidden power struggles and resistance in the daily lives betwen maids and their employers. Worthy reading!
