- Description
- The author followed for over a decade several migrant workers, who moved from rural towns to Beijing to take up work as maids, office cleaners, hotel chambermaids, and migrant school teachers. So she learned about the women's employment searches and interviews, first jobs, promotions and job changes, shopping and leisure activities, self-study efforts, illnesses, relationships, and marriage and motherhood.
