Global Woman: Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy
Global Woman reveals the multitudes of women whose journeys go unnoticed. With a full cross-section of the silent workforce which argues that women now represent the Third World’s main source of exportation, it also provides a groundbreaking anthology that examines the unexpected consequences of globalization on the lives of women worldwide. Global Woman shares the perspective from a diverse and distinguished group of writers that offer an unprecedented look at a world shaped by mass migration and economic exchange, unfolding an era in which the main resource extracted from the third world is no longer gold or silver, but love.
