Global Woman: Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy

This book looks pretty incredible. Can't wait to read it

"Social critics Ehrenreich (Nickel and Dimed) and Hochschild (The Time Bind) point out that in previous centuries the developed world imported natural resources, and now the import du jour is women, ideally, "happy peasant" women who can care for the elderly and disabled, lovingly raise children and provide sexual services for men."
