Published in 2003, it brings together essays that examine how globalization reshapes women’s labor across borders, especially in domestic service, childcare, elder care, and sex work. Rather than treating these jobs as isolated personal stories, the book shows them as part of a wider economic system built on migration, inequality, and the outsourcing of care. Its purpose is to reveal how the global economy depends on women’s labor while often leaving those workers poorly paid, insecure, and socially invisible. The book is significant in gender studies, sociology, and labor analysis because it connects intimate work inside homes and brothels to international flows of capital, labor, and family responsibility. It is both scholarly and accessible, making structural forces legible through concrete examples of women whose work sustains households and economies in very different parts of the world.
