Based on years of in-depth research and interviews, Bahadur's narrative takes us into the homes of these workers, revealing their struggles with low pay, long hours, and isolation. She exposes the exploitation and abuse that many face, while also highlighting their unwavering dedication to their families and communities.
Through the stories of these women, Bahadur challenges our notions of care work, immigration, and social justice. She forces us to confront the inequalities that persist in our society and to recognize the humanity and dignity of those who labor for our well-being.
