The 15 detailed and well-researched essays collected here range from personal recollections to broad economic analysis spanning the globe from Taiwan to Mexico and from Thailand to the Dominican Republic. They cover such topics as the transfer of emotional resources, the pressures global capitalism puts on women and their families and the ways that women's migration has modified relationships between men and women--both through marriage and through the global sex trade. Most importantly, the contributors have brought the personal stories of those the authors call "the world's most invisible women" into the light. This is essential and disturbing reading for all those interested in the effects of global capitalism, along with Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed--Undercover in Low-wage America. --Larry Brown
"The feminization of the migrant workforce is an enormously important, underreported subject . . . Fascinating, illuminating, harrowing." --Salon
"These essays offer a broad view with the aim of achieving better treatment of the women who make monumental sacrifices in search of a better life." --San Francisco Chronicle
