- Description
- Rosenbaum examines how two groups of women, Mexican and Central American domestic workers and the predominantly white, middle-class women who employ them, seek to achieve the 'American Dream.' By juxtaposing their experiences, she illustrates how immigrant and native-born women strive to reach that ideal, how each group is indispensable to the other's quest and what a vital role reproductive labor plays in this pursuit.
