Description
Global Woman: Nannies, Maids and Sex Workers in the New Economy This anthology examines the impact of globalization on the lives of women worldwide. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, millions of women are leaving their home countries to work in the homes, nurseries and brothels of wealthy nations. The flow of female energy to these countries is often seen as a solution to the care deficit in wealthy nations, but it can have significant consequences for the families left behind. The book sheds light on the experiences of women from different countries, including Vietnamese mail-order brides, Mexican nannies, Thai girls in Vietnamese brothels, and Czech au pairs in the UK. It highlights the complex and often exploitative nature of the global economy, where the value of women's work is frequently undervalued.
