Megan K. Stack, a former foreign correspondent, becomes a first-time mother in Beijing and faces the unyielding demands of motherhood and household chores. To manage, she employs domestic workers - migrant mothers with their own harrowing stories of sacrifice and survival. As her journey takes her from China to India, Megan grapples with the ethical intricacies of her reliance on these women. 'Women's Work' is a poignant examination of the invisible labor that upholds privileged lives, a probing narrative that sheds light on the intersections of motherhood, labor, and social hierarchies, and a candid confession of the author's confrontation with her complicity within this system.
